11. Antholyza caryophyllacea Burm. f.,

Fl. Ind. (Prodr. Fl. Cap.): 1. 1768.

≡ Gladiolus caryophyllaceus (Burm. f.) Poir . in Lam., Encycl. Suppl. 2: 795. 1812.

Lectotypus (designated by LEWIS & OBERMEYER, 1971: 114): SOUTH AFRICA: Cape, Auge s.n. [?] (G-PREL [G00818021]!; isolecto-: G-PREL [G00818022]!).

Notes. – LEWIS & OBERMEYER (1971: 114) designated a specimen in Houttuyn’s Cape herbarium preserved in G-PREL as the lectotype. The designation of a clear single specimen makes this lectotypification perfectly valid but unfortunate. Indeed, another specimen in the Burman herbarium with the handwriting of Burman f. is present in G-PREL [G00818022], which should have been considered for the lectotype. As both specimens are very likely duplicates collected by Auge, the latter must be considered to be an isolectotype.
