Vascular Plants
Australian Plant Name Index (APNI)
Ă—
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.

Lectotype:
"Mueller never visited England, nor did he borrow specimens from BM. Since Mueller could never have seen the BM specimen, it cannot be considered in the choice of the lectotype. I therefore overturn Symon's lectotypification, which is contrary to Article 9.10 (Greuter et al. 2000), and choose instead MEL 11651 as lectotype."
