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 "Lepturus (Monerma).". Since Lepturus was previously accepted by Mueller on p. 131 of the Systematic Census (1882) and is also accepted in Mueller's Second Systematic Census p. 221, Monerma is here treated as a synonym of Lepturus .
