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.

"Hack. impl. from Nat. Pfl.-Fam."
Maiden & Betche attribute this name to "Hack." and indicate that he used it by implication. E.Hackel, Nat. Pflanzenfam. II, 2(15): 126 (1888), states that Themeda should be used instead of Anthistiria but does not make any combinations at species rank. In the only known reference to the taxon by Hackel [in A.P. de Candolle, Monogr. Phan. 6: 677 (1889)] it is treated as T. gigantea var. avenacea .
