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.

Comment:"Art. 9.10 states that a lectotype should be chosen from an isotype "if such exists, ...." Although there is no doubt that Bentham saw Stuart's collection it must be deemed to be an "uncited specimen", not a syntype specimen. I have therefore chosen a syntype specimen, "Portland, Alitt", as the new lectotype of the name Brachyscome cardiocarpa."
