Note:
Meeuse (in
Bothalia
8: 33. 1962) interpreted the name via a Hermann illustration, which Newton & Njoroge (in Eggli,
Ill. Handb. Succ. Pl., Dicots
: 86. 2002) indicated as the type, but this choice was published after 1 Jan 2001 and so the omission of the phrase "designated here" or an equivalent (Art. 7.11) means that it is not effective.
