Osteospermum unceum Linnaeus, Mantissa Plantarum Altera: 290. 1771, orth. var.

"Habitat ad Cap. b. spei montibus." RCN: 6686.

Type not designated.

Current name: Osteospermum junceum P.J. Bergius ( Asteraceae).

Note: The new epithet “unceum” appears to be the result of a simple error, with the “j” of “junceum”, an epithet coined by Bergius in 1767, having been accidentally omitted.
