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.
Comment:This name is sometimes attributed to S.F.L.Endlicher, Gen. Pl. 1: 66 (1836). While Endlicher lists Ophioglossum pendulum L. under the entry for his new genus Ophioderma (Blume) Endl., he does not definitely associate that genus name and the specific epithet as required under Art. 35.2 (Shenzhen Code, 2018).
