The Australian Plant Census (APC) is a list of the accepted scientific names for the Australian vascular flora, ferns, gymnosperms, hornworts and liverworts, both native and introduced, and includes synonyms and misapplications for these names. The APC covers all published scientific plant names used in an Australian context in the taxonomic literature, but excludes taxa known only from cultivation in Australia. The taxonomy and nomenclature adopted for the APC are endorsed by the Council of Heads of Australasian Herbaria (CHAH).

When publishing the name Triglochin, C.Linnaeus, Sp. Pl. 338 (1753) treated it as of neuter gender (e.g. T. palustre, T. maritimum). G.Bentham, Fl. Austral. 7: 165-169 (1878) treated it as feminine, presumably on the basis that "glochin" is feminine, and he was followed by most subsequent Australian authors. Since the 1990s there has been a general consensus to accept Linnaeus' original choice of neuter. However, the ICN (Art. 62.2 (b.) Ex. 5, Melbourne Code (2012)) mandates a feminine gender for Triglochin, which is adopted here. -
