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.

Etymology: "The newly proposed epithet commemorates Robert Brown (1773–1858), an outstanding British botanist and pioneer of Australian plant taxonomy, who authored the replaced name. We prefer not to use the epithet ‘brownii’ because of the existing name C. brownianum Schult. (published as ‘browneanum’, a replacement name for C. lanceolatum R.Br. 1810, nom. illeg., non Willd. 1808), following ICN Art. 23, Rec. 23A.2 (McNeill et al. 2012), according to which the use of the genitive and the adjectival form of the same word to designate two different species of the same genus should be avoided." -
