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.
Goodeniaceae R.Br.
Scaevola taccada ( Gaertn.) Roxb.
, legitimate , scientific
Roxburgh, W. (1814) , Hortus Bengalensis :
15
[comb. nov.]
basionym:
Lobelia taccada Gaertn.
legitimate
Although Roxburgh did not refer to the basionym (Lobelia taccada Gaertn. (1788)) and did not provide a description for L. taccada , he cited a reference to an effectively published description and illustration: "H. M. 4. t. 59" (i.e. Rheede, Hort. Malab. 4: 121, t. 59 (1683)). Gaertner also referred to Rheede. Therefore, S. taccada is validly published as a comb. nov. (ICN Art. 41.3, Melbourne Code (2012)).
