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:
"Ammannia triflora Wall. ... is a nomen nudum , and hence not a legitimately published new species... Therefore Ammannia triflora Benth. is a legitimate name, and is the oldest available name for the species that Hewson called A. pubiflora . Ironically, A. pubiflora (Koehne) Hewson is an illegitimate name..."
