Vascular Plants Australian Plant Name Index (APNI)

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.

name

You will get suggestions as you type in your query, they tell you what your query will return, and you can select one for an exact match.
The query is not case sensitive.
This search uses an automatic wild card at the end of the query to match all endings (unless the query is in double quotes).
The query is an ordered set of search terms, so viola l. will match "Viola L." and "Viola L. sect Viola."
Putting double quotes around your entire query will cause it to be matched exactly (except case). e.g. "Viola L." will match just Viola L.
You can use a % as a wild card inside the search query e.g. hakea elon% be or "hakea % var. elon% benth." to find "Hakea ceratophylla var. elongata Benth."

Type: "[Northern Territory] Baie Morton, NH [Melville Island] Voyage l’Astrolabe 6 [s.dat., C. Fraser s.n.] (holo: P; iso: E, G, K)."

Text: "Only two of many specimens cited by van Royen (1957) belong to Pleioluma laurifolia, viz. Melville Island, Fraser 226 (K) and Moreton Bay: Voyage de l’Astrolabe 6 (P). Both are almost certain to be replicates of the same gathering, the Paris specimen being part of a gift of specimens to the French visitors to Sydney on the second voyage of the Astrolabe (1826–1829) by Charles Fraser along with some of his Moreton Bay collections. This appears to be the reason why the Paris specimen is labelled 'Baie Morton, N.H.'. See note under Pouteria queenslandica in Jessup (2001).The remaining specimens cited by van Royen (1957) as well as his Fig. 31 under Planchonella laurifolia are referable to Pleioluma queenslandica."
