Abstract
Marin (in Trav. Inst. Sci. Cherif., Bot. 27: 24 (1962)) raised Ixia bulbocodium L. var. major Schousb., Iagttag. Vextrig. Marokko: 25 (1800oo), to specific rank as Romulea major (Schousb.) Marin. If her argument is correct and Schousboe's Ixia bulbocodium var. major is the same as R. bulbocodium var. clusiana (Lange) Nym., then she was wrong to use the prior epithet major at specific level. Only at varietal level would it have priority over the epithet clusiana.
