3B736E61FFA50765FF2AFE96FEB3F733.taxon	description	The genus Orthanthera Wight (1834: 48) is endemic to Africa and currently consists of four species (Klopper et al. 2006). Orthanthera butayei (De Wildeman 1904: 192) Werdermann (1938: 240) and O. gossweileri Norman (1929: 98) are restricted to southern Tropical Africa (Angola and Zambia), while O. albida Schinz (1888: 265) and O. jasminiflora (Decaisne 1844: 630) Schinz (1888: 265) occur mainly in southern Africa (Namibia, Botswana and South Africa) (Victor et al. 2003, Leistner 2005, Bester et al. 2006) although the former also extends to southern Angola.	en	Bester, Stoffel P., Herman, Paul P.

3B736E61FFA50765FF2AFE96FEB3F733.taxon	description	Specimens examined: — SOUTH AFRICA. Northern Cape: Richtersveld National Park, north of De Hoop campsite between Gaimus / Stuiweoog and Rooilepel (QDS: 2817 AA), 12 September 2010, S. P. Bester 10112 (KMG!, KSAN!, MO!, PRE!); Richtersveld National Park, between Richtersberg campsite and Adventure Bush Camp (QDS: 2817 AC), 14 September 2010, S. P. Bester 10136 (PRE!). The two southern African species of Orthanthera are easily distinguishable from each other. In O. albida plants have a shrubby appearance with much reduced linear leaves (8 – 30 × 1 – 3 mm). In comparison, O. jasminiflora has a creeping habit with well-developed elliptic to ovate leaves (20 – 70 × 5 – 42 mm). The flowers of O. jasminiflora (Figure 4) are also much larger (12 – 35 mm long with the lobes ± as long as the tube) and cream, compared to O. albida which have smaller (5 – 10 mm long with the lobes ± half as long as the tube), yellow to yellow-green flowers. Orthanthera gossweileri is only known from the type locality in the Cunene Province in southern Angola (Figueiredo & Smith 2008). The type specimen [Gossweiler 3881 (BM), see JSTOR Plants 2012 a] has flowers that range from 20 to 30 mm in length, but the outstanding feature of this species seems to be the 33 – 67 mm long filiform leaves. The material of O. butayei [Butaye s. n. (BR), see JSTOR Plants 2012 b] very much resemble that of O. jasminiflora and needs to be studied in more detail to assess its recognition as a separate taxon.	en	Bester, Stoffel P., Herman, Paul P.

3B736E61FFA10768FF2AFF08FC6FF57F.taxon	description	Doellia cafra: The outer female florets are arranged in several rows, their corollas filiform (without a noticeable corolla limb, the protruding bifurcate styles easily observed); few central disc florets and the pappus consisting of a few scabrid bristles only (Figure 5 A – C). Pulicaria scabra: The outer female florets are arranged in one or two rows, having a small, but distinct corolla limb; many disc florets and the pappus consisting of an outer row of small scales fused into a shallow corona and an inner row of scabrid bristles (Figure 5 D – E). According to PRE records Doellia cafra was known to occur in Namibia, Botswana, Limpopo, North- West, Gauteng, Mpumalanga, Swaziland, KwaZulu-Natal and the Eastern Cape. The Acocks, Pearson, Williamson & Williamson and Bester specimens mentioned above extended the distribution range to the Northern Cape (Figure 6), but the localities are far apart and the collections made with long time lapses in between. Pulicaria scabra occurs in Namibia, Botswana, Limpopo, North-West, Gauteng, Mpumalanga, Swaziland, Free State, KwaZulu-Natal, Lesotho, Northern, Western and Eastern Cape (Figure 7). On the label of a Pulicaria scabra - specimen collected by Giess [Giess 13838 (PRE)] in Namibia along the Nuob River, 3 km from where it flows into the Orange River (QDS: 2817 AA), it is stated that it is growing with Doellia cafra (= Blumea cafra). However, no Doellia cafra specimen from that area is represented in PRE.	en	Bester, Stoffel P., Herman, Paul P. J., Klopper, Ronell R.
