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.
Comment:Steudel attributes this name to "C. A. Meyer", perhaps in reference to C.A.Meyer in C.F. von Ledebour, Fl. Altaica 1: 11 (1829). While Meyer indicated in a footnote in that work that Chenopodium pumilio R.Br. should be placed in the genus Blitum L., he did not definitely associate the genus name and species epithet as required by ICN Art. 35.2 (Shenzhen Code, 2018).
