Nat. Hist. II(10): Aanwyz. Plaat. [3], 590, tab. 67, fig. 3. 1779.

≡ Helichrysum aureum (Thunb. ex Houtt.) Merr. in J. Arnold Arbor. 19: 372. 1938.

Lectotypus (designated by HILLIARD & BURTT, 1981: 239): SOUTH AFRICA: Cape, Thunberg s.n. (G-PREL [G00818049]!; probable isolecto-: G-PREL [G00818141]!) (Fig. 7).

Notes. – A specimen in the Cape herbarium in G-PREL (Fig. 7) was designated as the implicit lectotype by HILLIARD & BURTT (1981: 239) as “herb. Houttuyn now in herb. Burman, G! ”. A further specimen collected by Thunberg is in the Burman herbarium (G-PREL [G00818141]) and probably is an isolectotype. No duplicate has been located at UPS-THUNB.
