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.
Comment:Reference to basionym indirect, via citation of this name as "Vulpia scabra, Labill.", indicating that the name is based on the same type as Festuca scabra Labill., nom. illeg.
Comment:The authorship given for Vulpia scabra in A.D.Chapman, Austral. Pl. Name Index 2977 (1991) is "(Labill.) Nees" with the reference Linnaea 2: 419 (1843). This appears to be an error for London J. Bot. 2: 419 (1843), as the name does not appear in Linnaea vol. 2.
