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: "The specific epithet derives from the Greek hylo- (forest) and bromo (food). The name refers to the seed containing rich endosperm that is available as a food source for forest animals. We observed almost all fallen stones to have been gnawed through to the locule and the seed missing, suggesting seed predation by ground feeding animals, presumably native rodents."
