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:
Authorship of Vetiveria is often attributed to Bory, but Bory is not mentioned in the protologue. According to A.D.Chapman, Austral. Pl. Name Index 2958 (1991), "at the top of the article it says 'per M. Lemaire' but is signed 'H.C.' [H.Cassini] at the bottom". On this basis authorship here is attributed to Lem. ex Cass.
