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:The original spelling "Centosteca" used by A.N.Desvaux in 1810 was later corrected to "Centotheca" by P. de Beauvois, Agrost. 69 (1812) and then adopted by Desvaux, J. Bot. 1: 70 (1813). For a discussion of the orthography of the generic name see J.R.Reeder, Taxon 30: 348-349 (1981).
