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.
Showing Goodenia tenella
-
Type: "...as communicated to the author by the Comtesse de Vandes, in whose choice collection near Bayswater it flowered for the first time."
-
Text: "Its general exterior approaches very near a generic division of Goodenia called Velleia, and is by Labillardiere figured under the title of Velleia trinervis." -
Comment: nom. illeg., nom. superfl., as the epithet trinervis was available in Goodenia in 1807 and thus ought to have been adopted by Andrews. Stafleu & Cowan, Tax. Lit. ed. 2, 1 (1976) 51 give the author as "probably ... George Jackson", but as there is no such indication in the work itself, Andrews has been accepted here as the author.
