| Description | Sparaxis auriculata is a new species of this western Cape and western Karoo genus It resembles S. villosa (Burm.f.)Goldblatt in its (lowers but is probably allied to S. galeata (Jacq.) Ker Gawl. Sparaxis metelerkampiae, currently a subspecies of S. variegata Sweet is raised to species rank. We propose changes to the infrageneric classification of the southern African winter rainfall genus Ixia. and describe a new species, I. aurea It is related to I odorata Ker Gawl. but differs in the larger deep yellow or orange flowers which are unscented In Gladiolus, we propose the new name. G saxatilis. for the Mpumalanga endemic, originally described as G litliicola Goldblatt J.C.Manning, a homonym for an Ethiopian species. | |
