Nemesia viscosa
E.Meyer ex
Bentham
(1836: 21)
Type (designated here):
—
SOUTH AFRICA
.
Northern Cape
:
Verleptpraam
et ad fl. Gariep. [Annotation in different handwriting: On hills by the Orange River near Verleptpram, Little Namaqualand], (2817AA),
September 1830
,
Drège 3142a
(
lectotype
K000411170, scan!)
.
Note
:—The K specimens were the only ones that could be traced. Two
syntypes
(
Drège 3142a
&
b
) are mounted together on the same sheet, each having its own label. One specimen (
Drège 3142a
) has mostly dehisced capsules but no flowers and the other has buds, but no mature flowers or capsules, therefore the
syntype
Drège 3142a
is considered the better specimen representing the description in the protologue and is chosen here as the
lectotype
.
