Gnidia tomentosaLinnaeus, Species Plantarum1: 358. 1753.
"Habitat in Aethiopia." RCN: 2834.
Neotype(Rogers in Rogers & Spencer in Taxon55: 486. 2006): South Africa. Western Cape Province, Kalk Bay Mountain, Cape Peninsula, above Boyes Drive, 2 Jun 1974, P. Goldblatt 2024(MO-2243060).
Note:Peterson (in Rechinger, Fl. Iranica95: 473, 476. 1959) noted the existence of three specimens in LINN. However, all are post-1753 additions to the herbarium, and Rogers therefore designated a neotype.
