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.

Type: Sphalmium racemosum (C.White) B.Briggs, B.Hyland & L.Johnson
-
Etymology: "From Greek, sphalma, a mistake; 'referring to the failure of botanists generally to appreciate the significance of its inflorescence, fruit and seed structure in relation to its placement within the family' (Briggs et al., 1975). White placed this species in Orites, a genus to which it is not now considered closely related."
