Roella reticulata Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 1: 170. 1753.

"Habitat ad Caput b. spei." RCN: 1341.

Lectotype (Adamson in J. S. African Bot. 12: 108. 1946): [icon] " Campanula Cap. B.S. foliis reticulatis spinosis " in Petiver, Mus. Petiv. Cent. Prima: 21, f. 157. 1695-1703.

Current name: Cullumia reticulata (L.) Greuter & al. ( Asteraceae).

Note: Adamson concluded that this name was typified by Petiver’s cited plate, identifiable as Cullumia ciliaris (L.) R. Br. However, Adamson appeared to overlook that the basionym of the latter is Atractylis ciliaris L. (1759), over which R. reticulata would therefore have priority. Greuter & al. (in Taxon 54: 155. 2005) have subsequently discussed this difficulty and made the necessary combination.
