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).

The type locality for this species was erroneously given as 'Capite van Diemen' by J.J.H. de Labillardiere, Nov. Holl. Pl. Spec. 2: 9 (1806). This error was further compounded by G.Bentham, Fl. Austral. 3: 117 (1866), who placed this taxon in synonymy of Kunzea sericea Turcz. J.Thompson, Telopea 3: 361 (1990) erroneously placed Kunzea sericea (as "Kunzea sericea (Labill.) Turcz.") in synonymy of Leptospermum sericeum. See C.A.Gardner, J. Roy. Soc. W. Australia 47: 61 (1964) for a discussion of the correct application of these names. -
