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.

Heynhold attributes this name to "Rchb.". H.G.L.Reichenbach, Consp. Regn. Veg. 175 (1828), indicated that several species of Metrosideros , including M. capitata Sm., comprised a separate genus Kunzea , but did not definitely associate the new genus name and species epithets as required by ICN Art. 35.2 (Shenzhen Code, 2018).
