Diosma rubra Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 1: 198. 1753.

"Habitat in Aethiopia." RCN: 1602.

Lectotype (Williams in J. S. African Bot. 47: 99. 1981): Herb. Linn. No. 270.4, right specimen [ “240.4”] (LINN) .

Current name: Diosma hirsuta L. ( Rutaceae).

Note: Williams (in J. S. African Bot. 40: 275. 1974) informally rejected the name as it was based on discordant elements but subsequently typified it such that it fell into the synonymy of D. hirsuta L.
