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.
Text:"Labillardière (1805 loc. cit.) gave as the provenance of Chenopodium baccatum 'Habitat in capite Van-Diemen', i.e. from the south coast of Tasmania. Material collected by Labillardière in herb FI, and so determined by him, is mounted on four sheets; these contain some specimens which correspond to the Tasmanian plant and others which could only have been collected on the south-west coast of Western Australia... The lectotype of Chenopodium baccatum is, therefore, to be chosen from among those specimens collected by Labillardière in Western Australia... As this fruiting specimen is an excellent match with tab. 96... I am selecting it as the lectotype of Chenopodium baccatum."
