Aspalathus pedunculata Houtt., Nat. Hist. II(5): Aanwyz. Plaat. [3], 475, tab. 28, fig. 2. 1775. Lectotypus (designated by DAHLGREN, 1968: 70 ): SOUTH AFRICA : Cape , Auge s.n. [?] ( G-PREL [ G00818023 ]!). Notes . – The lectotype is in the Cape herbarium and represents a clear match for the plate. MERRILL’s (1938: 345) interpretation of this plate as Aspalathus divaricata Thunb. is incorrect. The type specimen of A. squamosa Thunb. in the Thunberg herbarium (UPS-THUNB n° 16508) was identified as A. pedunculata by W.H. Harvey, but DAHLGREN (1960: 313) equated it with A. bracteata Thunb.
