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.

Text:"Bostock (1998b, p. 201) cited the type of the name Alsophila baileyana as ‘Palm Camp, Bellenden-Ker, Qld, 1889, F.M. Bailey s.n.; holo: BRI; iso: BM’. This is here treated as effective lectotypification by Bostock in accordance with ICN Art. 7.11 (Turland et al. 2018). Because Bostock’s citation meets the relevant requirements of ICN Art. 7.11, his use of the term ‘holo’ is correctable under ICN Art. 9.10."
