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:
Limited intergradation is recorded between E. cretata and E. dumosa (Lang & Brooker, 1990). Jacobs & Pickard (1981) raised E. incrassata var. dumosa to subspecies rank in E. dumosa , but as they did not recognise any other subspecies in E. dumosa , and nor has anyone else, before or since, this name has no standing. Intergrades are recorded between E. gypsophila and E. dumosa (Nicolle 1997).
