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.

Comment: Chapman attributes this designation to J.Ross, Hobart Town Almanac 1835: 110 (1835), but the name given therein is Taxanthema australis R.Br.

Comment: "Chapman (1991) makes reference to Toxanthes australis (R.Br.) Ross, Hobart Town Almanac 110 (1835). This is an error... the only reference on p. 110 is to Taxanthema australis, a member of the Plumbaginaceae. There is no reference to Toxanthes or the supposed combination."

APC Comment: The name "Toxanthes australis (R.Br.) Ross" was listed by A.D.Chapman, Austral. Pl. Name Index 2870 (1991), but the reference cited (Hobart Town Almanac 110 (1835)) does not contain the name. Instead it lists Taxanthema australis R.Br. (Plumbaginaceae). See P.S.Short, Austral. Syst. Bot. 8: 45 (1995).
