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.

APC Comment:B.R.Randell & B.A.Barlow, Fl. Australia 12: 89-138 (1998) noted that many of the taxa recognised in Australia were not normal sexually reproducing populations, but were the product of (often repeated) polyploidy, apomixis and hybridisation. They treated these taxa as 'form taxa' to draw attention to their anomalous genetic makeup. This approach has not met with uniform approval, taxa are here treated using traditional species and infraspecies nomenclature.
