Notes
. – The
lectotype
of
Anthericum bulbine
is in the
Cape
herbarium, probably collected by
Auge
(
WIJNANDS, 1991: 157
;
1992: 499
). We may never be certain whether Houttuyn’s name is a later heterotypic synonym, as it is probably also based on an
Auge
specimen. It is not a
nom. provisorium,
because although he indicated that “Possibly [!] the
Cape
plant will belong to one of the species mentioned”, he did accept it (
MCNEILL et al., 2012
: Art. 36.1). A second step lectotypification of
Pontederia stricta
is made here as two collections are present in the Burman herbarium in G-PREL [G00818007, G00818008].
