Plant NamesScientific names for all Australian plants – APNI and APCThe Australian National Herbarium, as part of the Centre for Plant Biodiversity Research, maintains comprehensive databases for plant names in Australia. The Australian Plant Name Index (APNI) provides detailed information on scientific names but DOES NOT recommend any particular taxonomy or nomenclature. The Australian Plant Census (APC) is a work in progress, providing a nationally agreed list of current scientific names endorsed by the Council of Heads of Australasian Herbaria (CHAH). Not all plant groups have yet been treated for the APC. Scientific names for selected plant groups

Search engines will not find plant names hidden in a database. To overcome this problem the link below is to a full list of all the names known to have been used for Australian plants up until 2001, it is linked here mainly for search engines. It is NOT a checklist of the Australian flora - many of the names are synonyms, no longer valid, making a list of over 65,000 names for a flora estimated at about 20,000 species.
