Abstract
Summary: The taxonomy of the genus Conophytum has been problematic since its inception. The geographical isolation of the many populations, confined to the summits of small hills or isolated stony vlaktes, has ensured an enormous variation and an explosion of forms. Up to now, all published taxonomic keys have been limited to small groups of species or subspecies; no taxonomic key has been compiled for the entire genus. In the present paper, a key to the entire genus Conophytum is proposed. Even though traditional statistical methods would serve well for this task, they were not used. Instead key phrases are proposed based on subjective knowledge of the genus.
