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: "By citing H. ulicina R.Br. as a synonym of this taxon, Lamont et al., loc. cit., prima facie rendered H. cygna illegitimate. However, it seems from the introduction to their paper that what was intended was merely to draw attention to Bentham's (1879) misapplication of the name H. falcata to a specimen of H. ulicina in K. In the interests of nomenclatural stability the intent in the introduction has been preferred over the unintentional formal synonymy."
