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).

Some authors (e.g. C.E.Hubbard, Grasses 2nd edn, 309 (1968)) consider this taxon to be a hybrid, on the basis that it was male-sterile with the anthers remaining closed. However, Australian specimens examined produce pollen and seed (S.W.L.Jacobs, pers. comm. 2007). -
