Abstract

The taxonomy and nomenclature of some species of the section Oxydium Benth. of Lotononis (DC.) Eckl. & Zeyh. have been revised. Diagnostic characters to distinguish between this section and the genus Crotalaria L. are briefly discussed. Crotalaria stenophylla Eckl. & Zeyh. and C. sparsiflora E. Mey. are transferred to the genus Lotononis. A new species ( L carnea B-E. van Wyk) and a new subspecies ( L . rostrata Benth. subsp. brachybotrys B-E. van Wyk) are described. L. namaquensis H. Bol. is treated as a subspecies of L. rostrata. The known geographical distribution of the above-mentioned species is given.
