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.
Etymology:"The chief features are so distinct from the type E. paniculata, that it is now proposed to raise it to specific rank under the name of E. Beyeri, after Mr. George Beyer, who for several years was Herbarium Assistant in the Technological Museum, and in which capacity he did much to help on the researches in economic botany, and still continues to do so in his office of chief clerk in that institution."
Text:"[The type specimen]...has anthers intermediate in morphology between those of E. beyeriana and E. crebra F. Muell. These taxa are often sympatric or closely parapatric,and hybrid individuals occur frequently, although no evidence exists for complex hybrids beyond the F1 generation."
APC Comment:A putative hybrid involving Eucalyptus beyeriana and E. crebra. The name “Eucalyptus beyeri R.T.Baker subsp. beyeri” is listed by S.W.L.Jacobs & J.Pickard, Pl. New South Wales, 157 (1981) and A.D.Chapman, Austral. Pl. Name Index 1211 (1991), but this autonym does not exist, in accordance with ICN Art. 27.2 (Melbourne Code, 2012).
