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: "When Cheel (1928) described B. dentigeroides he included all mainland populations of subsp. variabilis in it. However, his description was preceded by a week by an account by Penfold (1928) who described the essential oils of B. dentigeroides. In doing so, Penfold legitimately described B. dentigeroides. It was obviously not Penfold's intention to formally describe this species as he gives Cheel as the authority and states that "the botany of this new species, B. dentigeroides, is fully described by its author, Mr. E. Cheel, in the current issue of the Society's Journal". Later authors have quite rightly ignored Penfold's description."
