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:"This plant was discovered by Mr. J. Milligan, on the Franklin River, near Macguire Harbour, Van Diemen's Land."
Etymology:"The species was named... after Lady Franklin, who, with Sir John, was with Mr. Milligan when the plant was discovered in 1842."
Comment:Although a separate description is not given for the species the name is validly published by provision of a brief description for the genus, which was then monotypic (descriptio generico-specifica; ICN Art. 38.5 (Shenzhen Code, 2018)).
