Ixia campanulata Houtt., Nat. Hist. II(12): Aanwyz. Plaat. [1], 42, tab. 78, fig. 4. 1780. Lectotypus (designated by BROWN, 1929: 1933 ): SOUTH AFRICA : Cape , Auge s.n. [?] ( G-PREL [ G00818053 ]!). = Ixia aristata Thunb., Diss. Ixia: 14. 1783 . ≡ Ixia leucantha var. aristata (Thunb.) Baker, Hand. Irid. : 162. 1892 . Lectotypus (designated here by Callmander & Veldkamp): SOUTH AFRICA : Cape , Thunberg s.n. (UPS-THUNB n° 918 image seen). Notes . – The type specimen of Ixia campanulata is in the Cape herbarium in G-PREL. MERRILL (1938: 327) did not recognise it as Houttuyn’s. BROWN (1929: 133) and LEWIS (1962: 126) recognised this collection as the holotype , whereas GOLDBLATT & MANNING (2016: 185) correctly accepted Brown’s mention as an implicit lectotypification. Four collections of possibly different gatherings are present in UPS-THUNB for Ixia aristata (UPS- THUNB n° 917, n° 918, n° 919 and n° 920). The better-preserved specimen is designated here as the lectotype . Several other collections of Ixia L. are in Houttuyn’s Cape herbarium: I. maculata L. (G-PREL [G008181221]), I. monadelpha D. Delaroche (G-PREL [G008181217, G008181218]), I. polystachya L. (G-PREL [G008181219]), and I. scillaris L. (G-PREL [G00818120]). Two further specimens identified by Houttuyn as I. grandiflora D. Delaroche are now recognised in Sparaxis Ker Gawl. as S. grandiflora (D. Delaroche) Ker Gawl. (G-PREL [G00818122, G00818123]).
