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.

Etymology: "Johannes Angon Weinmann (1782-1858), whose name presumably provides the epithet for this species, was a German born Russian botanist and gardener who worked in Dorpat (Tartu) in Estonia from 1804-1813 and then for Empress Maria Feodorowna (1759-1828), "Mother of Czars" (C.Grant in A Mother of Czars 1905), at her palace in Pavlovsk, St Petersburg, Russia. The association of his name with the species in horticultural circles predated the protologue ..., but there is no indication of why his name was used and what connection he had with Australian plants. This was however the peak of interest in Europe in plants from Australia and there was considerable exchange between the various gardens."
