In 1989, Lawrie Johnson and Alex George described subsp. miodon in the Flora of Australia, and the name, and that of the autonym are accepted by the Australian Plant Census: Casuarina cunninghamiana Miq. subsp. cunninghamiana [6] is a tree to 15–35 m (49–115 ft), the articles 6–9 mm (0.24–0.35 in) long with 8 to 10 teeth.

At one time, all species were placed in the genus Casuarina. Lawrence Alexander Sidney Johnson separated out many of those species and renamed them into the new genera of Gymnostoma in 1980 and 1982, [3] [4] Allocasuarina in 1982, [4] and Ceuthostoma in 1988, with some additional formal descriptions of new species in each other genus.

These trees can survive lower temperatures. High altitude woodland occupies the floor of the higher valleys in the south of the ACT.
Coverage of plant names is best at the rank of species and genus. [1] It includes basic bibliographical details associated with the names. Its goals include eliminating the need for repeated reference to primary sources for basic bibliographic information about plant names. [2] [3] The IPNI also maintains a list of standardized author ...
The genera Allocasuarina was created out of a grouping of plants formerly placed in Casuarina, because of subtle but consistent differences – Casuarina species have 6 to 20 scale-like teeth in each whorl of leaves, their samaras are grey or yellowish-brown, and the bracteoles of the fruiting cones are thin, woody and extend well beyond the ...
