Namibithamnus obionifolius (O. Hoffm.) H. Rob., Skvarla & V.A. Funk comb. nov.

Vernonia obionifolia O. Hoffm., Bot. Jahrb. Syst. 10: 272. 1888.

Note.

With habit remarkably like Orbivestus cinerascens , and often in herbaria identified as this species. Differs clearly by non-seriate cymose inflorescence, thicker pale margins on involucral bracts, thicker tips on pappus bristles and lophate/triporate pollen. The margins of the involucral bracts are similar to those of Erlangea and Bothriocline .
