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.D.Chapman, Austral. Pl. Name Index 2118 (1991) regards the name Opercularia hispida Spreng. as illegitimate on the basis that the names Opercularia aspera Juss. and Opercularia diphylla Gaertn. are cited in synonymy. However, as O. aspera Juss. is itself illegitimate, and as Sprengel's inclusion of O. diphylla is doubtful (listed with a question mark), Sprengel's O. hispida is legitimate (see ICBN Art. 52.2. Note1 and Ex.12). -
