Australian Plant Name Index (APNI)
The Australian Plant Name Index (APNI) is a tool for the botanical community that deals with plant names and their usage in the scientific literature, whether as a current name or synonym. APNI does not recommend any particular taxonomy or nomenclature. For a listing of currently accepted scientific names for the Australian vascular flora, please use the Australian Plant Census (APC) link above.

Etymology:"Named after Mr George Gardner (1912–) of Northcliffe, farmer, timber worker and council employee, who has an exceptional knowledge of the natural history, geology and anthropology of the southern forest region, and who was the first to show the senior author this species (in 1974) and recognize it as a distinct Caladenia. George has provided useful and congenial assistance to both of us on several subsequent trips in search of interesting and elusive orchids and other plants."
