Notes. – Geranium tetragonum was based on a Thunberg specimen from the Cape. ALBERS et al. (1995: 344) designated a specimen in UPS-THUNB as the lectotype. Four duplicates of this collection are also present in G-PREL: three in the Burman herbarium [G00818045, G00818046, G00818047] and one in the Houttuyn herbarium [G00818048]. The latter bears the name G. quadrangulare Thunb. in Houttuyn’s handwriting. The four G-PREL collections are duplicates of the original material and are here considered as isolectotypes.
