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 is Latin for button-like. Like several other annual composites, this is a prostrate plant in which the stems and leaves lie on or just below the soil surface (and are the same colour as the soil), while the inflorescences are held on shortly ascending terminal branches near the soil surface and appear from above as a collection of buttons."
