| Zusammenfassung: | A new species, P. caespitosus Lukhoba & A. J. Paton, similar to P. pubescens Baker, is described. Two varieties within P. barbatus Andrews, namely P. barbatus var. barbatus and P. barbatus var. grandis (L. H. Cramer) Lukhoba & A. J. Paton are delimited. P. barbatus var. grandis is widely cultivated and its treatment here reflects the ease of its distinction from other forms in Africa south of Ethiopia, while recognizing the morphological continuity within the P. barbatus complex. |
