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.

Text: "The species marked with a dagger are keyed out here but will not be described further in the text. Most are old records not supported by herbarium specimens. Several may have been eradicated. Opuntia cochenillifera (L.) Miller has been reported from central Qld (J. Mann, Cacti naturalised in Australia and their control 32 (1970), as Nopalea cochenillifera (L.) Salm-Dyck)."
