Treatment

Hesperis africana Linnaeus View in CoL , Species Plantarum 2: 663. 1753.

"Habitat in Africa." RCN: 4832.

Lectotype (Ball in Cafferty & Jarvis in Taxon 51: 533. 2002): Herb. Clifford: 335, Hesperis 3 (BM-000646325) .

Current name: Malcolmia africana (L.) R. Br. View in CoL ( Brassicaceae ).

Note: Botschantzev (in Bot. Zhurn. 57: 1038. 1972) indicated unspecified material at LINN (but evidently 841.5) as type, as have later authors, but the lack of a relevant Species Plantarum number (in this case “4”) indicates it is a post-1753 addition to the herbarium.
