Crassula glomerata Linnaeus , Systema Naturae, ed. 12, 2: 226; Mantissa Plantarum: 60. 1767, nom. illeg.

"Habitat ad Cap. b. spei." RCN: 2247.

Type not designated.

Original material: Herb. Linn. No. 400.16 ( LINN) .

Current name: Crassula glomerata P.J. Bergius ( Crassulaceae ).

Note: As noted by Tölken (in J. S. African Bot. 38: 70. 1972), C. glomerata P.J. Bergius (1767) was published about a month before C. glomerata L. Bergius’ name is typified by his own material in SBT, and Tölken suggested that Linnaeus’ very detailed description was based partly on living material, and partly on material in LINN. Crasssula glomerata L. is therefore almost certainly heterotypic with respect to C. glomerata P.J. Bergius , and thus a later homonym.
