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."

[tax. nov.]

Type: "Vicinity of Haast's Bluff, central Australia, on rocky scree of isolated hill, N.T. Burbidge and M. Gray 4286, 24.ix.1955 (CANB)."

Etymology: "Among the material seen at Kew was an undescribed species the specimens of which had been placed together by Mr. C. E. Hubbard, who proposed to name it after its collector, Professor J. B. Cleland of Adelaide, whose collections and active interest have contributed much to our knowledge of Australian plants. With Mr. Hubbard's kind permission this species is described below, the type being a more recently collected specimen."
