Erica velutina Bartl., Linnaea 7: 645. 1832. View in CoL

Erica tomentosa Salisb., Trans. Linn. Soc. 6: 327. 1802 [wfo-0000673425], nom. illeg., non Masson, Phil. Trans. 66: 299. 1776 [wfo-1000053520] (= E. passerina Montin). Type. South Africa. "Hottentots Holland", I. Mulder s.n. ex herb. Salisbury (not located).

Note.

A label identifying the specimen labelled "C.B.S. Niven 16 " (K-000314197) [https://plants.jstor.org/stable/10.5555/al.ap.specimen.k000314197] as a lectotype is incorrect as the protologue cited only a collection from Hottentots Holland by I. Mulder and the Niven collection is, therefore, not original material.

Type.

South Africa. " Am Fusse des Babylonschenthurmbergen [Babilonstoring]", Ecklon s.n. (holotype GOET-003270 [https://plants.jstor.org/stable/10.5555/al.ap.specimen.goet003270]) .
