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:A.D.Chapman, Austral. Pl. Name Index 1936 (1991), treats the name Mariscus laevigatus as illegitimate on the basis that M. laevis Kunth was cited in synonymy. However, as M. laevis Kunth is itself illegitimate M. laevigatus Roem. & Schult. is here treated as a nomen novum.
