16. Aspalathus fascicularis Burm. f.,

Fl. Ind. (Prodr. Fl. Cap.): 21. 1768.

Lectotypus (designated here by Callmander): SOUTH AFRICA: Cape, Auge s.n. [?] ( G-PREL [ G00818024 ]!).

Notes. – Aspalathus fascicularis was cited by DAHLGREN (1963: 252) as a nom. dubium and not treated in his twelve papers published in Botaniska Notiser and Opera Botanica [see VAN WYK (1987) for a complete list of Dahlgren’s publications]. The Houttuyn specimen from the Cape in G-PREL was determined in 1959 by Dahlgren as A. vermiculata Lam. and is designated here as the lectotype. Aspalathus fascicularis should be regarded as the correct name for the taxon often referred to by the later name A. vermiculata Lam.
