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.

Some authors (e.g. C.E.Hubbard, Grasses 2nd edn, 309 (1968)) consider this taxon to be a hybrid, on the basis that it was male-sterile with the anthers remaining closed. However, Australian specimens examined produce pollen and seed (S.W.L.Jacobs, pers. comm. 2007).
