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.

Mueller lists "Melaleuca trichostachya = M. linarifolia". Since Melaleuca linariifolia (as linarifolia ) was previously accepted by Mueller on p. 55 of the Systematic Census (1882), Melaleuca linariifolia Sm. is here treated as accepted in this Supplement.
