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.

APC Comment:Two unnamed variants were recognised by McDonald & Maslin (1997). Hybrids between A. cowleana and A. elachantha are recorded in Qld (Henderson in Names and Distribution of Queensland Plants, Algae and Lichens, 2002).
Etymology:"The botanical name is derived from the Greek elachys (little, small, short, low) and anthos (flower) and refers to the smaller flowers and shorter spikes which help distinguish the species from its closest relative, A. cowleana."
