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 authority to be assigned to this species is disputed. The name has been cited as Calystegia soldanella (L.) Roem. & Schult. as well as being attributed to Robert Brown, as Calystegia soldanella (L.) R.Br. It is doubtful whether Brown actually made this combination, and if he did whether it is valid. In R.Brown, Prodr. 484 (1810) under Calystegia reniformis he included the following: "Obs. Facies C. Soldanellae L. diversa praecipue pedunculis teretiusculis: an vere distincta species?" This discussion clearly concerns Calystegia reniformis, which is compared to "C. soldanella L." C. soldanella L. is Convolvulus soldanella L, which Brown mentions specifically on the previous page. There is no indication that the "C." should be interpreted as Calystegia, and no indication that Brown intended to make a generic transfer. Even if it could be interpreted that way, the combination "Calystegia soldanella (L.) R.Br." would still be invalid, because Brown did not accept it. At most, it was a combination made in synonymy. -
