"Habitat in Aethiopia." RCN: 6153. Lectotype (Hilliard & Burtt in Bot. J. Linn. Soc. 82: 244. 1981): Herb. Clifford: 402, Gnaphalium 17 [ "18" ] (BM-000647013) . Current name: Metalasia muricata (L.) D. Don ( Asteraceae ). Note: Hilliard & Burtt (in Bot. J. Linn. Soc. 82: 244. 1981) indicated Gnaphalium sheet no. 18 in Herb. Clifford ( BM ) as lectotype , presumably in error for no. 17, filed at the end of the genus. Karis (in Opera Bot. 99: 121. 1989) noted Hilliard & Burtt's lectotypification, correcting the sheet number from "18" to "17" , and pointing out that sheet no. 18 bears material of Conyza candida L. (= Inula candida (L.) Cass. ) and is totally inconsistent with the description of Metalasia muricata .
