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:Bentham attributes this name to "F. Muell. Fragm. vii. 68" [i.e. F.J.H. von Mueller, Fragm. 7(53): 68 (1870)]. While Mueller indicates that Caesia lateriflora may be better placed in Corynotheca, the genus name was not validly published at the time and Mueller did not definitely associate it with the species epithet (ICN Art. 35 (Shenzhen Code, 2018)).
