Monsonia speciosa Linnaeus , Systema Naturae, ed. 12, 2: 508; Mantissa Plantarum: 105. 1767.

"Habitat ad Cap. b. spei." RCN: 5725.

Lectotype (Gibby in Jarvis & al., Regnum Veg. 127: 67. 1993): Herb. Linn. No. 936.2 ( LINN) .

Generitype of Monsonia Linnaeus.

Current name: Monsonia speciosa L. ( Geraniaceae ).

Note: Venter (in Meded. Landbouwhoogeschool 79-9: 106. 1979), followed by Albers (in Eggli, Ill. Handb. Succ. Pl., Dicots: 244. 2002), wrongly indicated a post-1767 Sparrman collection (936.3 LINN) as holotype. It is not original material for the name and was therefore rejected in favour of Gibby’s choice.
