Asparagus aethiopicus Linnaeus View in CoL , Systema Naturae, ed. 12, 2: 245; Mantissa Plantarum: 63. 1767.

"Habitat ad Cap. b. spei." RCN: 2464.

Lectotype (Jessop in Bothalia 9: 68. 1966): Herb. Linn. No. 434.6 ( LINN) .

Current name: Protasparagus aethiopicus (L.) Oberm. View in CoL ( Liliaceae / Asparagaceae ).

Note: Although Jessop believed the designated type to have been unavailable to Linnaeus in 1767, it appears, in fact, to be original material for the name, and is therefore accepted as a lectotype (under Art. 9.8).
