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.
Lectotype:Queensland, Port Curtis District: Broad Sound, Thirsty Sounde-inner entrance, R. Brown s.n., 24 Sep. 1802 (Iter Australiense 2885) (with the words 'Marsdenia viridiflora R.Br. Prod. xx' in Brown's hand along the bottom of the sheet) (lecto (here designated): BM (photo at BRI); isolecto: CANB (278893)).
Lectotype:"Australia. Queensland. PORT CURTIS DISTRICT: Broad Sound, Thirsty Sound – inner entrance, 24 September 1802, R. Brown s.n. (lecto 2nd step [here designated]: BM 001040531; isolecto: BM 001040533 [lacking Iter Australiense 2885], CANB 278893, K 000873030 [lacking date])."
Text:"In the 1995 revision the type for Marsdenia viridiflora R.Br. was given as “Broad Sound, Thirsty Sound-inner entrance, R. Brown s.n., 24 Sep. 1802 (Iter Australiense 2885) (with the words ‘Marsdenia viridiflora R. Br. Prod. xx’ in Brown’s hand along the bottom of the sheet)”. There are two sheets of this collection at BM that are available as online images: BM 001040533 does not have the Bennett number 2885, whereas BM 001040531 does. It is possible that the words written in Brown’s hand that I quoted in 1995 are on the reverse side of the white piece of paper that is currently mounted above the modern BM barcode label. The name requires a second step lectotypification due to the presence of two separate accessions at BM, with my original choice being reaffirmed."
