.
RCN: 3708.
Lectotype
(Groen & van der Maesen in
Bothalia

"
Mesembryanthemum
rictum felinum repraesentans"
in Dillenius, Hort. Eltham. 2: 240, t. 187, f. 230. 1732.
Current name:
Faucaria felina
(Weston) Schwantes ex H. Jacobsen
(
Aizoaceae
).
Note:
According to Ingram (in
Baileya
17: 47-48. 1970),
M. felinum
Weston (1770)
was published without reference to Linnaeus, preventing the recombination of
Linnaeus'
varietal epithet in
Mesembryanthemum
.
He gives the correct name as
Faucaria felina
(Weston) Schwantes ex H. Jacobsen.
