Snijman, Deirdre A. & Kocyan, Alexander, 2013, The genus Pauridia (Hypoxidaceae) amplified to include Hypoxis sect. Ianthe, Saniella and Spiloxene, with revised nomenclature and typification, Phytotaxa 116 (1), pp. 19-33 : 22-23

Pauridia Harvey (1838: 341) . Type (holotype):— Pauridia hypoxidioides Harvey (1838: 342) , nom. illeg.,

superfl. pro Ixia minuta Linnaeus f. (1782: 92) (McNeil et al. 2012: Art. 11.4). (= Pauridia minuta (L.f.) Durand

& Schinz). P. hypoxidioides (= Ixia minuta ) is the only species given in the protologue.

= Ianthe Salisbury (1866: 44) , nom. illeg., orthographical variant for Janthe , non Janthe Grisebach (1844: 40) (McNeil et al. 2012: Art. 53.1) Ξ Hypoxis subg. Ianthe (Salisb.) Baker (1878: 99) Ξ Hypoxis sect. Ianthe (Salisb.) Benth. in

Bentham & Hooker f. (1883: 717), syn. nov. Type (lectotype designated by Geerinck 1969: 76):— Ianthe ovata (L.f.) Salisb. ex Williams (= Pauridia ovata (L.f.) Snijman & Kocyan)

= Ianthe [unranked] Aquaticae Nel (1914: 290), syn. nov. Type (lectotype designated here):— Ianthe aquatica (L.f.) Williams (= Pauridia aquatica (L.f.) Snijman & Kocyan). The epithet of Nel’s unranked taxon is based on this binomial and the description in the protologue is a good match for this species.

= Ianthe [unranked] Flaccidae Nel (1914: 296), syn. nov. Type (lectotype designated here):— Ianthe flaccida Nel (= Pauridia flaccida (L.f.) Snijman & Kocyan). The epithet of Nel’s unranked taxon is based on this binomial and the description in the protologue is a good match for this species.

= Ianthe [unranked] Minutae Nel (1914: 299), syn. nov. Type (lectotype designated here):— Ianthe minuta (L.) Williams (= Pauridia pygmaea Snijman & Kocyan ). This species is the only one mentioned in the protologue.

= Ianthe [unranked] Ovatae Nel (1914: 293), syn. nov. Type (lectotype designated here):— Ianthe ovata (L.f.) Salisb. ex Williams (= Pauridia ovata (L.f.) Snijman & Kocyan). The epithet of Nel’s unranked taxon is based on this binomial and the description in the protologue is a good match for this species.

= Ianthe [unranked] Pectinatae Nel (1914: 299), syn. nov. Type (lectotype designated here):— Ianthe schlechteri (Bolus) Williams (= Pauridia affinis (Schult. & Schult.f.) Snijman & Kocyan). This species is the only one mentioned in the protologue.

= Ianthe [unranked] Serratae Nel (1914: 292), syn. nov. Type (lectotype designated here):— Ianthe serrata (Thunb.) Salisb. ex Williams (= Pauridia serrata (Thunb.) Snijman & Kocyan ). This species is the only one mentioned in the protologue.

= Ianthe [unranked] Stellatae Nel (1914: 295), syn. nov. Type (lectotype designated here):— Ianthe stellata (Thunb.) Williams (= Pauridia capensis (L.) Snijman & Kocyan). The epithet of Nel’s unranked taxon is based on this binomial and the description in the protologue is a good match for this species.

= Spiloxene Salisbury (1866: 44) , syn. nov. Type (lectotype designated by Fourcade 1932: 76):— Spiloxene stellata (Thunb.) Salisb. ex Fourc. (= Pauridia capensis (L.) Snijman & Kocyan)

= Saniella Hilliard & Burtt (1978: 70) , syn. nov. Type (holotype):— Saniella verna Hilliard & Burtt. This species is the only one mentioned in the protologue.

Note:—The genus Ianthe Salisb. was established in order to segregate the species with glabrous leaves and flowers occurring in southern Africa, Australia, Tasmania and New Zealand from those in the cosmopolitan genus Hypoxis , in which the plants characteristically have hairs at least on the flowers. Fourcade (1932) correctly argued against the generic name Ianthe , which is a later homonym and orthographical variant of Janthe Griseb. (McNeil et al. 2012: Art. 53.1), in favour of Spiloxene .
