Vascular Plants
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 the name "Lopidium" in synonymy without indicating its authorship. This is here accepted as a reference to the fern genus Lophidium Rich. (1792), rather than to the moss Lopidium Hook.f. & Wilson (1854).
