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.

by Williams, M.L., Drinnan, A.N. & Walsh, N.G.(19 October 2006), Variation within Prostanthera spinosa (Lamiaceae): evidence from morphological and molecular studies.Australian Systematic Botany19(5): 474-475
APC Comment:There are several variants described by B.J.Conn, Nuytsia 6(3): 361–362 (1988). Specimens from NSW (= 'Coaldale' variant) previously included under Prostanthera spinosa (B.J.Conn in G.J.Harden (ed.), Fl. New South Wales 3: 659, 1992) are now referable to Prostanthera sejuncta. Hybrids between Prostanthera spinosa and Prostanthera lasianthos are recorded from Vic, and have been referred to as Prostanthera sp. (Cultivation Ck) by J.H.Willis, Handb. Pl. Vic. 2: 588 (1973).
