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.

The two most recent treatments of Australian Callitris are by K.D.Hill, Fl. Australia 48: 576-588 (1998) and A.Farjon, Monogr. Cupressaceae Sciadopitys 496-546 (2005). Farjon adopts a broader taxonomic concept than Hill, and synonymises some of the taxa recognised by him. Hill's concepts have generally been adopted by most jurisdictions, but some states (e.g. WA) recognise more broadly defined taxa. Circumscription and/or recognition of C. columellaris, C. glaucophylla and C. intratropica in particular varies between jurisdictions.

APC Comment:
The two most recent treatments of Australian Callitris (excluding Actinostrobus) are by K.D.Hill, Fl. Australia 48: 576-588 (1998) and A.Farjon, Monogr. Cupressaceae Sciadopitys 496-546 (2005). Farjon adopts a broader taxonomic concept than Hill, and synonymises some of the taxa recognised by him.

Circumscription and/or recognition of C. columellaris, C. glaucophylla and C. intratropica in particular varies between jurisdictions.
