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.
APC Comment:An African taxon, recorded in an Australian context only as the parent of Hermannia gilesii F.Muell., nom. inval., nom. prov. (and several other invalid designations by other authors) and Hermannia velutina DC. Hermannia gilesii is treated as a synonym of Gilesia biniflora in Australia, and H. velutina was recorded as "not sufficiently established to be considered naturalised" by A.J.Ewart & B.Rees, Proc. Roy. Soc. Victoria 25: 109 (1912), and not known to be established in Australia.
