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.

Text:"Robert Brown collected this species at several locations on his visit to
Australia. In 1995 I selected his Keppel Bay collection made on 13 August 1802 as the lectotype (BM with 2 sheets) with isolectotypes at BRI, CANB and K. At the time this was reliant on specimen images made by Australian Botanical Liaison Officers working at Kew, or material examined on loan. In the retrospect of online availability of specimen images, there are more specimens available than were viewed in the late 1980s. As accession numbers were not indicated for the BM specimens in the 1995 revision, it is necessary to take the lectotypification of the name to a second step, so the excellent specimen BM 00100536 is chosen as the lectotype."
