Notes: ―The collection SAM0001675-0! (isotype of this taxon) is erroneously featured as an isotype of Salsola zeyheri in the http://plants.jstor.org depository. Wright (1912: 453–454) listed S. bullata as an imperfectly known species and cited a Drège specimen (herbarium lodging unknown) collected in the Orange (Gariep) River mouth. The voucher Z-000002799! ( K. Dinter 5995, Lüderitzbucht) is designated as paratype on a voucher sheet in Z; this choice was not very fortunate since Z-000002799! Is not from the locus classicius of C. nollothense (Port Nolloth, South Africa).

Distribution: ―Namibia: Namib coast (from Oranjemund as far north as Skeleton Coast); Namibian inland collections ascribed to this taxon have most probably been misidentified; South Africa (NC): Richtersveld coast. Ulbrich (1934: 566) claims that this taxon occurs as far north as Angola.
