Vascular Plants
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:The species epithet is apparently derived from the Latin adjective innoxius (not harmful), in reference to the "harmless spines" described by Miller. His original spelling of the epithet as "inoxia" is thus here corrected under Art. 60.1 (Shenzhen Code, 2018).
