Entry for FRANKENIA capitata Webb & Berth. [family FRANKENIACEAE]
Entry From
Flora Capensis, Vol 1, page 113, (1894) Author: (By W. H. HARVEY).
Notes
The above 4 varieties occur at the Cape, and three of them (lævis, Nothria & Krebsii) have usually been held for species; but after a careful examination of many specimens, in the Dublin & Hookerian Herbaria, and from various parts of the world, I find it impossible to determine where one variety begins and another ends. Several other reputed species might be added to the list of synonyms. The least variable character is found in the linear, strongly revolute leaves; but this is less marked in Nothria than in the other varieties. ADDENDA : to F. capitata, var. α, add Zey. 1955; var. δ, Zey. 1954.
