Asclepiadaceae

Note:
Stapelia hirsuta
, with the type designated by Brown, was proposed as conserved type of the genus by Jarvis (in
Taxon
41: 570. 1992). This was approved by the Committee for Spermatophyta (in
Taxon
44: 612. 1995) and ratified by the General Committee (in
Taxon
48: 374. 1999). However, subsequent Codes do not list
Herb. Clifford: 77,
Stapelia
2 (
BM
)
as the
generitype
, so the specimen remains a
lectotype
, rather than a conserved type.
