Australian Plant Name Index (APNI)
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. For a listing of currently accepted scientific names for the Australian vascular flora, please use the Australian Plant Census (APC) link above.
APC Comment:Although A.D.Chapman, Austral. Pl. Name Index 639 (1991), considered that Mueller made the species-level combination Cassytha phaeolasia in the index to Fragmenta vol. 5 (p. 228), the name on p. 167 is clearly given as a variety of C. paniculata and all of the varietal names published in this volume were listed in the same way in the index. Since Mueller's intention is clear, the specific combination is here attributed to Bentham.
