Ordo: Asterales
Familia: Asteraceae
Genus: Vernonia
Name
Vernonia collina Klatt, 1896 – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
- Vernonia collina Klatt, Bull. Herb. Boiss. 4: 824. 1896, nom. illeg., non Vernonia collina Gardn. 1846.
Distribution
Transvaal (In cliv. Mont. Elandspruitbergen, alt. 7000 ped., leg. R. Schlechter, 2 December 1893, N. 3832).
Note
The name is an illegitimate later homonym and cannot be used, but the species, as described, cannot be placed with other Vernonian species presently known from South Africa. The original description (Klatt 1896[1]) makes no mention of corollas and they may have been absent on the type collection. According to the description, the achenes are ca. 3 mm long and the pappus is 1.5 cm long, suggesting an immature or overly mature condition. From the description it is not certain the species is actually a member of the Vernonieae.
