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 search
Advanced search

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."

Lectotype: "[here corrected], designated by Bean 2008: 233 [i.e. A.R.Bean, Telopea 12(2): 233 (2008)]): AUSTRALIA. Northern Territory, Carpentaria Island ‘s’, 20–21 January 1803, Bennett 3055 (BM000907281 [Digital image!], image of the lectotype available at http:// data.nhm.ac.uk/dataset/collection-specimens/resource/05ff2255-c38a-40c9-b657-4ccb55ab2feb/record 2328744)."

Text: "Bean (2008: 233 [i.e. A.R.Bean, Telopea 12(2): 233 (2008)]) indicated for Ptilotus corymbosus a specimen preserved at BM (barcode BM000907281) as the holotype, while another one specimen [at K, barcode K000196973, image at http://apps.kew.org/herbcat getImage. do?imageBarcode=K000196972 (specimen on the left)] was reported as isotype. However, Brown (1810: 415 [i.e. R.Brown, Prodr. 415 (1810)]) did not specify any holotype in the protologue. According to the Art. 9.9 (see Ex. 10) [i.e. ICN Art. 9.9, Ex. 10 (Melbourne Code, 2012)]., the Bean’s choice and use holotype is an error to be corrected as lectotype."
