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 "Vincetoxicum = Cynanchum.". Since both genera are accepted by Mueller on p. 93 of the Systematic Census (1882) and also on p. 158 of his Second Systematic Census , it is assumed that this synonymy was reconsidered between this Supplement and the Second Systematic Census .
