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:R.C.Bakhuizen van den Brink, Bull. Jard. Bot. Buitenzorg Ser. 3 15: 429, adnot (1936), proposes two alternative names for a single taxon, namely Diospyros ellipticifolia and D. major. Since this publication was prior to 1st January 1953 (ICBN Art. 34.2 (2006)), both names are valid.
Text:"Smith (1971) noted that Ferreola ellipticifolia Stokes is an illegitimate name because it was published with Maba elliptica J.R.Forst. & G.Forst. in synonymy. However, he then used the illegitimate combinations D. elliptica (J.R.Forst. & G.Forst.) P.S.Green (a later homonym of D. elliptica Knowlt. (Dorr 2011). Australian specimens identified as this species (as the f. australiensis) by Bakhuizen van den Brink (1941: 65, 429) are referrable to D. yandina."
