Notes
. – There is a specimen in Houttuyn’s
Cape
herbarium [G00818133].
VAN DER WALT & VAN ZUYL (1988: 150)
designated a “specimen with Burman handwriting” as the
lectotype
but clearly failed to recognise Houttuyn’s handwriting. This specimen, probably collected by
Auge
, should be considered in the lectotypification of Burman’s name as it may have been available to Burman
f. and
collected by
Auge
.
