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: "From the Latin decrescens (diminishing, narrowing), in reference to the outline of the narrowly ovate leaves which in their typical form taper more or less smoothly from the widest point in the basal half to the acute apex. This highlights an often useful character which helps to distinguish it from related species."
