47. Geranium ovale Burm. f.,

Fl. Ind. (Prodr. Fl. Cap.): 19. 1768.

≡ Pelargonium ovale (Burm. f.) L’Hér . in Aiton, Hort. Kew. 2: 429. 1789.

Lectotypus (designated by VAN DER WALT & VAN ZUYL, 1988: 150): SOUTH AFRICA: Cape, Auge s.n. [?] (G-PREL [G00818133]!).

Notes. – There is a specimen in Houttuyn’s Cape herbarium [G00818133]. VAN DER WALT & VAN ZUYL (1988: 150) designated a “specimen with Burman handwriting” as the lectotype but clearly failed to recognise Houttuyn’s handwriting. This specimen, probably collected by Auge, should be considered in the lectotypification of Burman’s name as it may have been available to Burman f. and collected by Auge.
