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.
Type:"Western Australia. Without precise locality, s. dat., J.Drummond 410 (MEL 9798 [image!]; isolectotypes: G 00355707 [image!], P 00689747 [image!], P 00698811 [image!]))."
Text:"Carolin ... [i.e.R.C.Carolin, Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S.W. 920-42 (1967)] cited the type of the name Velleia cycnopotamica F.Muell. as “Holotype – Ad flumen cygnorum. Drummond no. 410 (MEL 9798) – Isotypes – (P.G).” This is here treated as effective lectotypification by Carolin. As Carolin’s citation meets the relevant requirements of ICN Art. 7.11, his use of the terms “holotype” and “isotype” is correctable under ICN Art. 9.10."
