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:
F.G.Brieger in F.R.R.Schlechter, Die Orchideen 3: 724 (1981) lists the name “Dendrocoryne speciosum var. speciosum ” but as the generic name had not been validly published (ICN Art. 35.1 (Melbourne Code (2012)) this autonym is not established.
