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).

Most authors have adopted the orthography Grevillea aquifolium, following Lindley's original spelling. A.D.Chapman, APNI 1464 (1991) considered this to be an orthographic error to be corrected, and adopted the spelling Grevillea aquifolia. Alternatively it can be argued that the epithet is a noun in apposition, comparing this plant with the genus Aquifolium, a view accepted here, and the correct orthography is Grevillea aquifolium. -
