Notes.
– Two collections are present in UPS-THUNB. One is identified as
Aspalathus vermiculata
Lam.
by W.H. Harvey and was designated as the
lectotype
by
DAHLGREN (1968: 60)
. The second collection was identified as
A. thymifolia
var.
albiflora
(Eckl. & Zeyh.) Harv.
by W.H. Harvey (see
HARVEY, 1862
). The collection in LD is stamped “Museum Acharianum” and is therefore regarded here as an isolectotype, given that “Acharius and Thunberg were close friends and exchanged material”, according to
NORDENSTAM & BUYS (2011: 1191)
.
