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 botanical name is derived from the Latin glaucus (blue-green, covered with a white bloom) and caesius (bluish-grey) referring to the appearance of the phyllodes."
Text:"Acacia glaucocaesia: from Greek glaucos (bluish-grey or -green) + Latin caesius (bluish-grey). This one is debatable as it combines a Greek and a Latin word, but probably should be glaucicaesia."
