Aspalathus genistoides Linnaeus View in CoL , Mantissa Plantarum Altera: 261. 1771.

"Habitat ad Cap. b. spei, e fissuris rupium." RCN: 5225.

Lectotype (Schrire in Turland & Jarvis in Taxon 46: 463. 1997): Tulbagh 29, ex Herb. Linn. ( BM) .

Current name: Aspalathus corrudifolia P.J. Bergius View in CoL View at ENA ( Fabaceae : Faboideae ).

Note: Dahlgren (in Opera Bot. 21: 213. 1968; in Leistner, Fl. Southern Africa 16(3:6): 316. 1988) stated that the name was based on Tulbagh 29, which he could not locate. He therefore designated 893.30 (LINN) as a neotype. He was evidently unaware of the existence of Tulbagh’s specimen (which supports current usage) among the small number of Linnaean sheets at BM and, moreover, appeared to overlook 893.31 (LINN), annotated with “genistoides” by Linnaeus which, although it does not support current usage, cannot be dismissed as not being original material.
