Gethyllis latifolia Masson ex Baker (1885:228)
Taxonomy & Nomenclature
Conservation Status
Rediscovered (by implication) (Snijman et al., 2007)
Listed as Missing by (Müller-Doblies, 1986), and as Extinct by (Hilton-Taylor, 1996). But was reported to be known from four plants by (Snijman et al., 2007). It was still listed as Extinct by (Humphreys et al., 2019), but they give their source as (WCMC, 1996), which is presumably old data prior to the rediscovery.
