79. Phalangium spicatum Houtt.,
Nat. Hist. II(12): Aanwyz. Plaat. [2], 115, tab. 80, fig. 2. 1780.
Lectotypus (designated here by Callmander & Fumeaux): SOUTH AFRICA: Auge s.n. [?] ( G-PREL [ G00818067 ]!).
= Micranthus plantagineus Eckl., Topogr. Verz. View in CoL Pflanzensamml. Ecklon: 43. 1827.
Notes. – The single element of original material in the Cape herbarium is designated here as the lectotype. It is a good match for the plate. Micranthus spicatus (L.) Heyn. prevents the transfer of Houttuyn’s epithet to the genus Micranthus (Pers.) Eckl. See GOLDBLATT et al. (2013: 140-142) for an interesting discussion on M. plantagineus . The latter authors considered the plate in Nat. Hist. II(12): tab. 80, fig. 2. 1780 to be the type of Houttuyn’s name (i.e., they implicitly designated it as the lectotype), but the existence of original material supersedes their lectotypification.
