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 status of this name is uncertain, but may possibly be referable to Lachnagrostis rudis. Beauvois (Ess. Agrost. 148 (1812)) refers both Agrostis scabra R.Br. and Agrostis scabra Willd. to synonymy of Vilfa scabra, but indicates doubt in both cases. Due to this expression of uncertainty and since the two taxa named Agrostis scabra are quite different, one occuring in North America and one in Australia, Beauvois is not considered to have validly made the combination.
