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.

APC Comment:
The name Ichnocarpus frutescens has been variously attributed to (L.) R.Br., (L.) R.Br. in W.T.Aiton and (L.) W.T.Aiton. Brown described the genus Ichnocarpus in Mem. Wern. Nat. Hist. Soc 1: 61 (1811), with a single species, the Apocynum frutescens of Linnaeus. However he failed to actually make the new combination, only implying it. The combination was first made in Hortus Kewensis, 2nd edn. 2: 69 (1811). Although it is generally agreed that the new descriptions in this work were done by Dryander and Brown, there is no internal evidence of this (Art. 46.6), so the new combination must be ascribed to W.T.Aiton.
