Talk:Allocasuarina

I have removed

Allocasuarina strictum (Vanilla Lily She-oak)

from the list of Allocasuarina. I can find no evidence of its existence here or here. Snottygobble | Talk 23:31, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

I have reverted the addition of Allocasuarina stricta to the list of Allocasuarina species. It is not listed in the Australian Plant Name Index. The name is probably meant to refer to the taxa that was Casuarina stricta and is now Allocasuarina verticillata [1]. Snottygobble 11:26, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

I Searched for Allocasuarina stricta on google and found articles about it. I just remember doing a project on them for the council three or four years ago. So it is quite possible they have changed since then? Sorry for adding it if it was nonsense, I have a poor quality picture of an Allocasuarina stricta (right) Kyle sb 12:11, 16 March 2006 (UTC) (oh and remove the image when you have had a look)

The Australian Plant Name Index (APNI) contains all names, even defunct ones. So if there was ever a plant officially named "Allocasuarina stricta", then it ought to be listed there. "Allocasuarina stricta" gets 88 hits on google. 88 is a pretty small number, as I would expect, but some of them are from Australian government websites and other respectable sources, which surprises me. The very first hit is a list of synonyms that states that A. stricta is a synonym of Casuarina verticillata. If you swap the genera around, you end up with the record in the APNI - i.e. that C. stricta is a synonym of A. verticillata.

The situation isn't as clear-cut as I would hope, but the APNI is supposed to be authoritative, so I think we should go with them in the absense of compelling evidence that they are wrong. Snottygobble 22:46, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

At the beginning of 2003, I did some work for our local council looking at species on the cliff grounds. The She-Oak species most common in a book was the Allocasuarina stricta, that we identified in the area. However this book was issued by a council, who aren't always reputable and highly likely to get the names wrong. I was just reading this article with interest and surprised to find the stricta missing, so I added hoping to work on an article about it later. If the A. Stricta is the same as the A. verticillata then I will perhaps try and write an article on that instead. Although with out clearly knowing I might skip it altogether. Thanks.
