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.

APC Comment:
Hybrids are recorded between E. caleyi subsp. caleyi and E. melliodora (Hill & Johnson, 1991). A reputed hybrid E. albens x E. melliodora is the basis of E. melliodora var. murrurundi Blakely (Pryor & Johnson, 1971; Chippendale, 1988). A reputed hybrid E. crebra x E. melliodora is the basis for E. peacockeana Maiden (Pryor & Johnson, 1971; Chippendale, 1988). A reputed hybrid E. albens x E. melliodora is the basis for E. robsonae Blakely & McKie (Pryor & Johnson, 1971; Chippendale, 1988). A reputed hybrid E. melliodora x E. sideroxylon is the basis of E. stopfordii Maiden (Maiden, 1922; Chippendale, 1988). A reputed hybrid E. crebra x E. melliodora is the basis for E. tenandrensis Maiden (Pryor & Johnson, 1971; Chippendale, 1988).
