Notes. – No original material has been located of Mesembryanthemum carinatum . Surprisingly this species is not mentioned in Candolle (1828) ’s Mesembryanthemum L. treatment. Plate 109 in the second volume of Jardin de Malmaison is therefore designated as the lectotype as long as no original material has been located.
