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.

Etymology: "The name of the new subspecies, P. calycina subsp. proxena, refers to the fact that on superficial examination, the herbarium species of this taxon look nothing like P. calycina subsp. calycina (L. prox-='alike'; L. en - 'indeed?'). It also stands as a memorial to a fallen lesbian hero (L. pro-='alas' or 'for'; Hollywood xena='warrior princess')."
