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.
Type:"Wong Suey's Paddock, Cobar, N.S. Wales (Rev. Archdeacon Haviland, 1917)."
Etymology:"Named in honour of Edwin Haviland (1823–1908), for notes and portrait see this Journ. XLII, p. 106, Plate 11; and of his son Archdeacon Francis Ernest Haviland, now of Coonamble, formerly of Cobar, N.S.W. Both have specialised in the fertilisation of Australian plants and have also worked at taxonomy and other branches of botany, and their contributions are mostly to be found in Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S.W. I was for long, in the early eighties, a weekly companion of the father in botanical excursions chiefly in the Port Jackson district, while the son has been a generous contributor to the National Herbarium of New South Wales, and specially brought this species under my notice."
Comment:The species epithet was published by Maiden as "havilandi" but he also states that the taxon was named in honour of two males with the surname Haviland. The epithet is thus corrected here to havilandiorum in accordance with ICN Art. 60.8 (Shenzhen Code, 2018).
