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: (not cited)

Etymology: "Only one new species has as yet been discovered by me, viz., a small Orchid, in respect of which Baron F. v. Mueller, has done me the honour of naming it Prasophyllum Tepperi."
Comment: Tepper ascribes the name to F.Muell on. p. 43 as "Prasophyllum Tepperi, F. M. (spec. nov.)." but on pp. 32-33 the brief validating description is apparently written by Tepper himself. Authorship of this name is thus here accepted as F.Muell. ex Tepper under ICN Art. 46.2 (Melbourne Code, 2012).
