Remarks

Burman f. (1759) published Geranium maritimum for a species from Cape; Linnaeus (1763) published the same name for a species from U.K., a name also used by Murray (Syst. Veg., ed. 14. 616. 1784). Thunberg (Fl. Cap., ed. 2. 511. 1823) misapplied G. maritimum L. and referred to Murray (an error). Ecklon & Zeyher did not refer to Burman f., but referred to Geran. maritimum Thunb. fl. cap. p. 511.
