Aster fruticosus Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 2: 872. 1753.

"Habitat ad Cap. b. Spei in saxosis." RCN: 6312.

Lectotype (Jones & Hiepko in Willdenowia 11: 345. 1981): Herb. Clifford: 409, Aster 17 (BM-000647099) .

Current name: Felicia fruticosa (L.) G. Nicholson ( Asteraceae).

Note: Grau (in Mitt. Bot. Staatssamml. München 9: 275. 1973) indicated both 997.6 and 997.7 (LINN) as types. These collections do not form part of a single gathering (so Art. 9.15 does not apply) and Wijnands (Bot. Commelins: 75. 1983) was correct to reject this as an ineffective type choice. Jones & Hiepko appear to have been the first to make an explicit type choice.
