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:
This species was recorded from Norfolk Island by Mueller (1866) as Davallia flaccida, by Bentham (1878) as Dicksonia davallioides, and by Maiden (1904) under the name Dennstaedtia davallioides. These records are thought to be based on mislabelled specimens held in Kew (P.S.Green, 1994).
