Vascular Plants
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:See F.R.Fosberg, Micronesica 2(2): 150 (1967) for a discussion of the nomenclature and orthography of Abroma. Fosberg's conclusion that Jacquin publication of this name is invalid is not correct. Jacquin validates the name in Hort. Bot. Vindob. 3: 3 (1776) (R.J.F.Henderson, pers.comm. 27 Apr. 2004).
