= Vernonia kraussii Schultz Bipontinus (1844: 668) View in CoL ; Sch.Bip. in Walpers (1843: 947), nom. nud. in syn.

Type: — SOUTH AFRICA. KwaZulu-Natal: In graminosis ad radicem (Octobri) et in summitate mont. Tafelbergen [in grassy places at the foot and the top of Table Mountain], (QDS: 2930DA], August 1839, Krauss 462 (lectotype: MO, barcode MO 391699, designated here; isolectotypes: P, barcode P 022670, TUB, barcode 004988, all seen as images).

Note:— Schultz Bipontinus (1844) cited two Krauss specimens: 48 and 462. Specimens of Krauss 462 are housed in MO, P, TUB ( JSTOR 2022, P online). The TUB specimen with barcode 004988 has two labels attached to it, one label with the number 48 and the date October 1839, and the second label with the number 462 and the date August 1839. The MO specimen was selected as the lectotype to eliminate any confusion. Only one specimen of Krauss 48 was seen on the P online website.

Rigid, robust plant up to 1 m high, with many rigid, erect stems from underground rootstock, with ovate to subrotund, pinnately veined leaves up to 20(–25) mm broad, with many capitula in large, open, corymbose synflorescences. For full description see Swelankomo et al. (2016). ( Figs 1A View FIGURE 1 , 2 View FIGURE 2 ).

Distribution: —Widespread in southern and tropical Africa.
