Rob., Skvarla & V.A. Funk comb. nov. Vernonia collina Schlechter, J. Bot. 1898. 374. 1898, nom. illeg ., non Vernonia collina Gardn. 1846. Vernonia thodei Phillips, J. Bot., Lond. 74: 205. 1936, based on Vernonia collina Schlechter. Distribution. Zambia, Transvaal ( Smith 1971 ). Note. The specimen cited by Smith (1971) as Vernonia nyassae Oliv. from Transvaal, is Pseudopegolettia thodei . The two species have generally similar habits, but they are totally different entities with basically different pollen. It is evident from the description that Vernonia collina of Klatt, based on a Schlechter collection, is not the same as the Vernonia collina of Schlechter. See under unplaced species.
