Abstract

A synopsis of Moraea, a genus of African Iridaceae is presented. This summarizes, in systematic sequence, the subgenera, sections and species from revisions published over a period from 19731977, covering the genus over its entire range. The synopsis includes all taxonomic changes made in the later revisions and places the four species of Moraea transferred here from Homeria in 1980. Six new species, M. linden, M. flexuosa, M. vallisavium, M. longiaristata, M. atropunctata, and M. calcicola and one new subspecies, M. villosa subsp. elandsmontana are described; M. robusta is raised from subspecies status in M. galpinii.
