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).

A very variable taxon, divided into five intergrading subspecies by G.Nordborg, Opera Bot. 16: 98-118 (1967), based on receptacle morphology. There is little or no correlation between receptacle morphology and other characters and intermediates are frequent (e.g. see G.Nordborg, Fl. Iranica, 66: 155 (1969); J.Cullen, Fl. Turkey, 4: 78 (1972); S.M.H.Jafri, Fl. Libya 31: 25 (1977); C.Navarro & F.Munoz Garmendia, Fl. iberica 6: 385 (1998)). Australian material has generally been referred to subsp. muricata and subsp. magnolii (latter in Vic only), but in light of the difficulty in reliably distinguishing infraspecific taxa even within the native range of the species, a broad approach is adopted here. There is also considerable confusion regarding the correct nomenclature for many of the infraspecific taxa, including those recorded from Australia. -
