9. Anthericum bulbine Houtt.,

Nat. Hist. II(12): Aanwyz. Plaat. [2], 353, tab. 80, fig. 3. 1780.

Lectotypus (designated here by Veldkamp & Callmander): SOUTH AFRICA: Cape, Auge s.n. [?] (G-PREL [G00818006]!; probable isolecto-: G-PREL [G00818007, G00818008]!).

= Pontederia stricta Burm. f., Fl. Ind. ( Prodr. Fl. Cap.): 9. 1768. ≡ Onixotis stricta (Burm. f.) Wijnands in Bothalia 21: 157. 1991. ≡ Wurmbea stricta (Burm. f.) J.C. Manning & Vinn. in Taxon 56: 177. 2007.

Lectotypus (first step designated by WIJNANDS, 1991: 157; second step designated here by Wijnands & Callmander): SOUTH AFRICA: Cape, Auge s.n. (G-PREL [G00818007]!; probable isolecto-: G-PREL [G00818006, G00818008]!).

Notes. – The lectotype of Anthericum bulbine is in the Cape herbarium, probably collected by Auge (WIJNANDS, 1991: 157; 1992: 499). We may never be certain whether Houttuyn’s name is a later heterotypic synonym, as it is probably also based on an Auge specimen. It is not a nom. provisorium, because although he indicated that “Possibly [!] the Cape plant will belong to one of the species mentioned”, he did accept it (MCNEILL et al., 2012: Art. 36.1). A second step lectotypification of Pontederia stricta is made here as two collections are present in the Burman herbarium in G-PREL [G00818007, G00818008].
