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).

Typification was discussed by Pedley (1978) and in Fl. Austral. 11B: 312 (2001). Acacia aneura var. stenocarpa was validly published by Mueller, Fragm. 4: 9 (1863), based on a Beckler specimen from 'Yayinya Mountains'. The use of this name and combination again by Bentham, Fl. Austral. 2: 403 (1864), based on 'Barrier Range, Victorian Expedition' (lectotypified by Pedley (1978) on a specimen from Yaginya Mtn, collected by Beckler on the Victorian Expedition) therefore constitutes a nom. illeg. Hitherto it has often been considered legitimate. Mueller (1882) also described A. cibaria based on a Beckler specimen from 'Yayinya Mountains'. Pedley (1978) pointed out that the type specimens of A. aneura var. stenocarpa Benth., nom. illeg. and A. cibaria probably represent parts of a single gathering. -
