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:Jackson attributes this name to "A. Cunn. in Hook. Bot. Mag. sub t. 3312" [i.e. A.Cunningham in W.J.Hooker, Bot. Mag. t. 3312 (1834)], where Cunningham cites an unnamed taxon in synonymy, using the epithet "pugioniformis". However the combination Alyxia pugioniformis does not appear therein.
