status

 

Caroxylon foetidum (Delile ex Spreng.) Moq. View in CoL in DC. Prodr. 13, 2: 178 (1849).

Salsola foetida Delile in Fl. Egypte, Illustr. No. 310: 57 (1812) nom. nud. (Art. 38.1a of ICN).

Salsola foetida Delile ex Spreng. View in CoL in Syst. Veg. 1: 925 (1825).

Notes: —This is a North African–Arabian taxon conspecific with Caroxylon imbricatum (Forssk.) Akhani & E.H.Roalson View in CoL (see Boulos 1991; Akhani et al. 2007). The collection by Zeyher 1448 from ‘Caput Bonae-Spei’ (Cape of Good Hope) cited by Moquin-Tandon (1849) most probably does not belong to either C. foetidum View in CoL or to C. imbricatum View in CoL . Wright (1912: 452) mentioned that the voucher Zeyher 1443 resembles S. foetida View in CoL to some extent. The latter specimen was selected as the type of Salsola glabrescens var. apiculata View in CoL (see above). The voucher Burtt Davy 12800 (BOL) was cited to represent S. foetida ( Burtt Davy 1921: 194) View in CoL , however this can also be considered an erroneous identification.
