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).

The authorship of this name is often attributed to J.Steetz, Pl. Preiss. 2(2-3): 309 (1848) but this is later than the publication by Drummond. Drummond’s text is mostly concerned with the use of the plant as a broom but still contains enough descriptive detail of leaves, stems and flowers to distinguish the species and satisfy ICN Art. 38.1 (Melbourne Code, 2012). -
