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).

In making the new combination in Racosperma, Pedley 'corrected' the spelling of the species epithet from a noun in apposition to a genitive adjective, preferring to give precedence to Rec. 23A rather than Art. 23. As the original spelling was not an 'error' and therefore not available for correction, and because Articles take precedence over Recommendations, this is inadmissable, and the original (deliberate) use of a noun in apposition is retained here. -
