Vascular Plants
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.

Mueller lists "Prasophyllum brevilabre = P. australe.". Since Prasophyllum brevilabre (Lindl.) Hook.f. was accepted by Mueller on p. 112 of the Systematic Census (1882) and also on p. 190 of his Second Systematic Census , it is assumed that this synonymy was reconsidered between this Supplement and the Second Systematic Census . Prasophyllum australe is considered the accepted name in this supplement with P. brevilabre in synonymy.
