Liparia oppositaLinnaeus, Mantissa Plantarum Altera: 269. 1771, nom. illeg.
["Habitat ad Cap. b. spei."] Sp. Pl., ed. 2, 2: 995 (1763). RCN: 5433.
Replaced synonym: Spartium capenseL. (1760).
Conserved type (Campbell & al. in Taxon48: 833. 1999): South Africa. Western Cape Province, Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve, Campbell & Van Wyk 151(NBG; iso-K, MO, PRE).
Note: Liparia opposita L.is an illegitimate renaming of Spartium capenseL., and therefore homotypic with it. Campbell-Young & al. (in Taxon48: 833. 1999) successfully proposed S. capenseforconservation with a conserved type because all original elements for the name belong to Rafnia angulataThunb.
