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.

APC Comment:
A long succession of authors tried and failed to validly publish the generic name Oreophylax. The contorted nomenclature was discussed by L.G.Adams, Aust. Syst. Bot. 8: 935-1011 (1995), who treated it as a synonym of his new name Chionogentias. Chionogentias is maintained as a distinct taxon in NSW and ACT.
