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.

APC Comment: A New Zealand taxon listed by A.D.Chapman, Austral. Pl. Name Index 789 (1991). Chapman also cites "Coprosma petriei F.Muell." published in Pap. Proc Roy. Soc. Tasmania 1891, 14 (1892), as an illegitimate name (non Cheeseman (1886)). However, this is a secondary reference only, and Mueller makes no attempt to publish this name. The taxon Mueller discusses was subsequently described as Coprosma moorei F.Muell. ex Rodway.
