47. Caroxylon humifusum (C.A.Sm. ex A.Brückn.) Theodorova View in CoL in Turczaninowia 14(3): 75 (2011). Basionym: ― Salsola humifusa C.A.Sm. ex A.Brückn. in Bothalia 6: 215, fig. 1, 2 (1951). Type: ― SOUTH AFRICA. Orange Free State [Free State Prov.]: Fauresmith Dist., Farm Goedeshoop in Koffiefontein area, along edge of pan, 4000 ft elev., 10 September 1927, Smith 4514 (holotype PRE-0375394-0!), Rabie 14A, 15A, 17A; syntypes PRE-7086-

0375395!, PRE-7084-0375397!, PRE-7085-0372171!). ‒ Salsola humifusa C.A.Sm. , in schedis (Smith 4514 PRE!).

Notes: ― As noted by Bruckner (1951: 215) himself, the original author of the name Salsola humifusa is C.A. Smith, who identified this plant as a new species in 1928 (see a note on the holotype herbarium sheet). C.A. Smith therefore deserves to be listed as one of the name-giving authors.

Distribution: ― South Africa (NC, FS, NW): Upper Karoo, eastern salt pan region of the Free State, Griqualand West.
