Australian Plant Name Index (APNI)
Ă—
The Australian Plant Name Index (APNI) is a tool for the botanical community that deals with plant names and their usage in the scientific literature, whether as a current name or synonym. APNI does not recommend any particular taxonomy or nomenclature. For a listing of currently accepted scientific names for the Australian vascular flora, please use the Australian Plant Census (APC) link above.

APC Comment:
The genus Notholaena is sometimes included in Cheilanthes , or is treated as distinct. In the latter case, it is excluded from Australia, with Notholaena s. str. being found in America (Chambers & Farrant, 1991). The spelling Nothochlaena Kaulf. is an orthographic variant.
