Campanula fruticosa
Linnaeus
,
Species Plantarum
1
: 168. 1753
.
"Habitat ad Caput b. Spei." RCN: 1328.
Lectotype
(Adamson in
J. S. African Bot.
19: 157. 1953): "
Campanula africana
, ericae folio, flore coeruleo patulo"
,
Herb. Hermann 4: 16, bottom left (BM-000594715)
.
Current name:
Prismatocarpus fruticosus
(L.)
L'Her
. (
Campanulaceae

Note:
In the protologue, Linnaeus cited a Hermann polynomial published in a supplement by
Burman (1737)
. This polynomial and reference, written by Linnaeus, can be found annotating three specimens in
Hermann's
herbarium (vol. 4: 16, BM). They are clearly original material for
Linnaeus'
name and were treated as the type by Adamson.
