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.
Lectotype:TASMANIA: Hobart Town, Gunn 1416, Oct 1840; lecto (here chosen) K; probable iso NSW. The Gunn specimen is designated as lectotype rather than holotype since Hooker mentions a Mueller specimen (Wilsons Promontory, Mueller, 1853; K, MEL) under 'Distribution'. The Mueller specimen in K is not annotated by Hooker as Chaetospora tenuissima, whereas the Gunn specimen is so annotated and bears sketches of the floral parts by Hooker.
