Othonna linifolia Linnaeus, Plantae Rariores Africanae: 25. 1760.

["Habitat ad Cap. b. spei."] Sp. Pl., ed. 2, 2: 1244 (1763). RCN: 6370.

Basionym of: Cineraria linifolia (L.) L. (1763) .

Type not designated.

Original material: Oldenland, Herb. Burman? (G) .

Current name: Euryops linifolius (L.) DC. ( Asteraceae).

Note: Nordenstam (in Opera Bot. 20: 92. 1968) did not trace an original collection but states "a probable isotype is H.S. 156 f. 30 in the Sloane Herbarium (BM)". Although the latter material would not have been seen by Linnaeus, it might well prove to be a duplicate of material at one time in Herb. Delessert (G).
