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.
Text:"There has been much confusion surrounding H. montana Steudel. Bentham (1863) misapplied the name H. montana, placing H. commutata Steudel and H. discolor Steudel in synonymy, at the same time relegating H. confertifolia Steudel to a variety of H. montana. Later workers have all followed Bentham's misapplication of the name H. montana. The description of H. montana given by Bentham (1863) relates to H. commutata and H. discolor, both of which have 3 glabrous carpels. Hibbertia montana, however, is a species with velutinous carpels. H. montana occurs near York, where it still flourishes at the type locality, Mt Bakewell, and may extend as far south as Boyagin."
