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:"From the Latin 'quadri', four, 'fariam', in rows or ranks; in reference to the labellum calli which are usually in four rows."
Text:"Although this species frequently grows large the epithet 'gigantea' was considered inappropriate at species rank, especially in view of the large dimensions attained by many of the spider orchids."
