Note
Swelankomo et al. (2015)[1] point out that the older name Eupatorium capense should have been used for this species, and they make the necessary new combination. The combination Vernonia capensis has been used since 1917 for another species (now in Hilliardiella). At this time there is still no unpreoccupied name for the species that has been called Vernonia mespilifolia in the genus Vernonia. Two specimens examined: Rogers 28651 from Grahamstown, and C.E. Smith & Duthie 4678 from Natal, the latter originally distributed as Vernonia crataegifolia.
