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: "Recorded as common in Tas. (as Cnicus palustris) by J.D.Hooker in Fl. Tasman. cviii (1859), but this species has not subsequently been found there or elsewhere in Australia. Presumably Hooker mis-identified the plants he saw."
