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).

Banksia prionophylla F.Muell. is here considered to be nom. nud., nom. inval., and the type material is considered by A.S.George (Nuytsia 3: 396, 1991; Fl. Australia 17B: 231, 1999) to represent B. spinulosa var. cunninghamii (Sieber ex Rchb.) A.S.George. The name was published by Mueller (First Gen. Rep. Veg. Colony 17, 1853) without a description. Some authors (e.g. A.D.Chapman, Austral. Pl. Index 366, 1991; A.S.George, Fl. Australia 17B: 231, 1999) have considered the name to have been validated by Meisner (Linnaea 26: 353, 1853). However, Meisner provides no indication that he accepts Mueller’s new taxon, commenting “absque flore haude certe dignoscenda” [without flowers by no means identifiable] and that the sterile material possibly represents B. littoralis R.Br.
