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: "Benl (1971) and Green (1981, 1985) have adopted the combination P. eriotrichus (W. Fitzg. ex Ewart & White) W. Fitzg. in, I assume, the belief that Fitzgerald (1912) was not describing a new species but making a new combination. However, this is incorrect, as it is evident that Ptilotus eriotrichum W. Fitzg. was published by Fitzgerald without knowledge of Ewart & White’s earlier publication."
