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.
Etymology:"from the Greek parthenos (girl or virgin), probably a reference to the white ray florets in these plants; or derived from partheniki, the Greek name for a plant latinised as parthenice by the Roman poet Gaius Valerius Catullus (c. 84-54 BC); this plant is now Tanacetus parthenium (L.) Bernh. or Feverfew."
