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 epithet lophocoracorum is arbitrarily derived from the Greek lophos, ridge, crest, and corax, raven, in reference to the novel Ravenshoe by Henry Kingsley (1830-1876) in which both the primary family dealt with in the novel and their home were named Ravenshoe, the name Ravenshoe apparently itself derived from the words ravens and hoe, the latter being a projecting ridge of land."
