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.

APC Comment:
Earlier records of Chloris divaricata from NT (e.g. I.D.Cowie & D.A.Albrecht (eds), Checklist NT Vasc. Pl. Sp. (2005)) are referable to Enteropogon minutus (see M.E.Nightingale et al., Fl. Australia 44B: 279 (2005)).
