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.

The authority for Ceratochloa unioloides is given as "(Willd.) Kunth in F.W.H.A. von Humboldt, A.J.A.Bonpland & K.S.Kunth, Nov. Gen. Sp. 1: 115 (1816)". However the name does not appear on page 115, and this is presumably a reference to Bromus unioloides (p. 151).
