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.

Brown, R. in Sturt, C. (1849) , Botanical Appendix. Narrative of an Expedition into Central Australia 2 :

[tax. nov.]
Type:
Leichhardtia australis R.Br.
The main entry for the genus name in Brown's work uses the spelling "Leichardtia", but the entry for the single species is given as Leichhardtia australis . As the genus name is presumed to honour Ludwig Leichhardt (1813–?), the latter spelling is adopted here.
