9. Caroxylon apiciflorum (Botsch.) Mucina comb. nov.

Basionym: ― Salsola apiciflora Botsch. in Botanicheskii Zhurnal 58: 817 (1973).

Type: ― SOUTH AFRICA.Ebenezar [Western Cape Prov.], in der Valei und am Ufer des Olifantsriver ,unter 100 Fuss, November 1839, Drège 3000a’ (planta pubescens) (holotype LE-00011774!; isotypes K-000243980!, K-000243981!, K-000243982!, K-000244066!) .

Notes: ― Differences between Salsola apiciflora and Caroxylon divaricatum , both described from the same locality (Ebenezer, Olifants River mouth) on basis of Drège’s collections (Drège 3000a’ and Drège 3000a), are discussed by Botschantzev (1973: 817).

JSTOR Global Plants files the vouchers K-000243980!, K-000243981!, K-000243982! erroneously as ‘holotype’.

Botschantzev (1973: 817) designated LE vouchers clearly as ‘typus’, while a K voucher is explicitly cited as

‘isotypus’. Distribution: ― South Africa (WC): Olifants River Valley.
