Aspalathus multiflora Thunb.
Description
17. Aspalathus multiflora Thunb.,
Prodr. Fl. Cap. 2: 128. 1800.
Lectotypus (designated by DAHLGREN, 1968: 60): SOUTH AFRICA: “Cap. b. spei a”, Thunberg s.n. (UPS-THUNB n° 16487 image seen; isolecto-: LD-1241837 image seen).
= Aspalathus vermiculata Lam., Encycl. 1: 288. 1783.
Notes. – Two collections are present in UPS-THUNB. One is identified as Aspalathus vermiculata Lam. by W.H. Harvey and was designated as the lectotype by DAHLGREN (1968: 60). The second collection was identified as A. thymifolia var. albiflora (Eckl. & Zeyh.) Harv. by W.H. Harvey (see HARVEY, 1862). The collection in LD is stamped “Museum Acharianum” and is therefore regarded here as an isolectotype, given that “Acharius and Thunberg were close friends and exchanged material”, according to NORDENSTAM & BUYS (2011: 1191).
