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.

Etymology: "I have been aware of the existence of this species for many years but, until recently, had mostly poor or inadequate material on which to base a description. The epithet honours Charles Weldon de Burgh Birch, who in 1873 collected the first specimen known to me. For a brief biography of Birch see George (2009) and references therein. Among other things, Birch (1872) encouraged those who resided in the Queensland bush to contribute to our knowledge of Australian plants by sending specimens to Ferdinand Mueller in MEL."
