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:
W.R.Barker et al., Census S. Austral. Vascular Pl. 45, 213 (2005) list the name "Amaranthus macrocarpus subsp. macrocarpus " as a synonym of A. macrocarpus , but this name does not exist as no other infraspecific names have been published at this rank within this taxon.
