"Habitat ad Cap. b. spei." RCN: 3066. Lectotype (Peterson in Polhill, Fl. Trop. E. Africa, Thymelaeaceae : 16. 1978): Herb. Linn. No. 554.1 ( LINN ) . Generitype of Dais Linnaeus. Current name: Dais cotinifolia L. ( Thymelaeaceae ). Note: Fuchs in Acta Bot. Neerl. 11: 74. 1962) argued that as Linnaeus' description came from David van Royen, an illustration of the plant from Leiden, published later by Meerburg, should be the holotype . This could have been an effective neotypification (Art. 9.8) but for the existence of original material (Herb. Linn. 554.1, LINN), subsequently designated as type by Peterson.
