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).

R.O.Makinson, Fl. Australia 17A: 335 (2000) treated G. oxystigma [var.] heterophylla as illegitimate, presumably on the grounds that it was to be considered the type variety and should have been called [var.] oxystigma. There is no evidence for this. Meissner gave all three infraspecific taxa equal treatment, and the Code requires that he be deemed to have created the autonym [var.] oxystigma simultaneously. Makinson subsequently lectotypified both the species and var. heterophylla on the same specimen, making them nomenclatural synonyms, but var. heterophylla was legitimate when described. Makinson (2000) discussed three informal forms, following Olde & Marriott (1995): a 'typical (type) form', a 'broad-leaved form' and a 'southern form'. -
