Liparia opposita Linnaeus View in CoL , Mantissa Plantarum Altera: 269. 1771, nom. illeg.

["Habitat ad Cap. b. spei."] Sp. Pl., ed. 2, 2: 995 (1763). RCN: 5433.

Replaced synonym: Spartium capense L. (1760) .

Conserved type (Campbell & al. in Taxon 48: 833. 1999): South Africa. Western Cape Province, Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve, Campbell & Van Wyk 151 (NBG; iso- K, MO, PRE).

Current name: Rafnia capensis (L.) Schinz View in CoL ( Fabaceae : Faboideae ).

Note: Liparia opposita L. is an illegitimate renaming of Spartium capense L. , and therefore homotypic with it. Campbell-Young & al. (in Taxon 48: 833. 1999) successfully proposed S. capensefor conservation with a conserved type because all original elements for the name belong to Rafnia angulata Thunb.
