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.
Etymology:"Named after Ronald Campbell Gunn FLS, FRS, (1808-81), superintendent of convicts in northern Tas, who was encouraged to collect botanical specimens by the botanist R. W. Lawrence. Gunn corresponded with Sir William Hooker and Dr John Lindley and became an authority on Tas plants."
