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.
Etymology:"Nomen hujus novi generis dicatio sit erudito Christophoro Giles, plurium Australiae centralis plantarum et ipsius speciei detectori, sicut geographo nunc celebri Ernesto Giles, qui quoque in arduis suis explorationibus multitudinem plantarum semper contulit." [i.e. named in honour of both Christopher Giles Jnr. (c. 1840-1917) and William Ernest Powell Giles (1835-1897)]
