The epithet apparently alludes to  Callunavulgaris( Ericaceae) of which the flowering/fruiting branches of this  Caroxylonspeciesare remotely reminiscent. ‘  Calluna’ is the nown and the specific epithet should be preserved. Moreover, when proposing her new combination, Feodorova (2011)also provided a wrong citation of the basionym, thus making her combination invalid. The combination is validated here and Feodorova’s authorship is preserved.   Distribution:―South Africa (FS, NC, WC?, EC): southern Bushmanland, Upper Karoo, Middelburg region, salt pan region of western Free State and Griqualand West.
