Royena lucida Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 1: 397. 1753.

"Habitat in Cap. b. Spei." RCN: 3128.

Lectotype (de Winter in Dyer & al., Fl. Southern Africa 26: 69. 1963): Herb. Linn. No. 570.1 (LINN) .

Generitype of Royena Linnaeus (vide Hitchcock, Prop. Brit. Bot.: 154. 1929).

Current name: Diospyros whyteana (Hiern) F. White ( Ebenaceae).

Note: There are no grounds for the rejection of de Winter’s type choice by Wijnands (Bot. Commelins: 94. 1983) because the designated type was original material for the name.
