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.

This combination is sometimes attributed to R.Brown, Prodr. 224 (1810). Brown lists Scirpus spiralis Rottb. as belonging to his new genus Eleocharis but does not definitely associate the genus and species names as required by ICN Art. 35.2 (Melbourne Code, 2012).

APC Comment:
A.D.Chapman, Austral. Pl. Name Index 2601 (1991) stated that Poiret did not validly make the combination Scirpus compactus . However, under Article 33.1 of the 2006 (Vienna) edition of the ICBN, this name is considered to be validly published.
