“…Stellarioides is characterized by usually long, narrow and dense, racemose-spiciform inflorescences (rarely subcorymbose or subglobose); relatively small and numerous flowers; tepals with a longitudinal green band visible on both sides that becomes rusty-reddish when withered; capsule ovoid, subglobose or obovoid; seeds flattened or irregularly compressed, with sharpened edges, obliquely arranged in two rows per locule and puzzle-like testa (Martínez-Azorín et al 2011, Crouch et al 2014).…”

Within the framework of a taxonomic revision of the genus Stellarioides we here describe a new species from South Africa, Stellarioides exigua. This taxon is, at first sight, related to S. arida and S. tenuifolia s.l., but it can be clearly differentiated by the small general size; the filiform, free leaves; the small narrowly lanceolate capsules and the small seeds. A complete description of the species is presented, and data on morphology, ecology, and distribution are reported. Affinities and divergences with other taxonomically closely related taxa are also discussed.

Background: Ongoing systematic studies in the African flora necessitate periodic nomenclatural adjustments and corrections.Objectives: To effect requisite nomenclatural changes.Method: Relevant literature was surveyed, and type material was located and examined.Results: A new combination is published in Dimorphotheca Mairia Vaill. ex Moench (Asteraceae). Nomenclatural adjustments are provided for five recently described species of Hyacinthaceae in order to accommodate them in alternative classification systems currently in use.Conclusions: The new combination Dimorphotheca pinnata var. brevis (Norl.) J.C.Manning is made for Osteospermum pinnatum var. breve Norl. Eliokarmos craibii Martínez-Azorín et al. and Nicipe rosulata Martínez-Azorín et al. are transferred to Ornithogalum as Ornithogalum craibii (Martínez-Azorín et al.) J.C.Manning and Ornithogalum rosulatum (Martínez-Azorín et al.) J.C.Manning, respectively; Stellarioides exigua Martínez-Azorín et al. and S. littoralis N.A.Crouch et al. are transferred to Albuca as Albuca exigua (Martínez-Azorín et al.) J.C.Manning and Albuca littoralis (N.A.Crouch et al.) J.C.Manning, respectively, and the genus Desertia Martínez-Azorín et al. is included in Massonia with the new combination Massonia luteovirens (Martínez-Azorín et al.) J.C.Manning.
