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.

Showing Dryandra ionthocarpa subsp. chrysophoenix
-
Type: "near Aldersyde, Western Australia, 32° 22'S, 117° 16'E, 23 Oct. 1999, M. Pieroni 99/15 (holo: PERTH 06406289; iso: K, MEL, NSW)."
-
Etymology: "From the Greek chryso- (golden) and phoinix (purple-red), in reference to the striking combination of gold and purple in the perianth; phoinix also referring to the plant's ability to sprout from its rootstock after fire, just as the fabeled phoenix could arise from its own funeral pyre. The Latinised form phoenix is preferred for the botanical epithet." -
