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.

APC Comment:
The name "Brachychiton australis var. incanus (R.Br.) A.Terrac." is listed by A.D.Chapman, Austral. Pl. Name Index 454 (1991), but Terraciano's infraspecific taxon is here interpreted as a subspecies, following G.P.Guymer, Austral. Syst. Bot. 1: 285 (1989).
