Lectotype (Groen & van der Maesen in Bothalia 29: 39. 1999): [icon] " Mesembryanthemum rictum felinum repraesentans" in Dillenius, Hort. Eltham. 2: 240, t. 187, f. 230. 1732.

Current name: Faucaria felina (Weston) Schwantes ex H. Jacobsen ( Aizoaceae).

Note: According to Ingram (in Baileya 17: 47-48. 1970), M. felinum Weston (1770) was published without reference to Linnaeus, preventing the recombination of Linnaeus’ varietal epithet in Mesembryanthemum . He gives the correct name as Faucaria felina (Weston) Schwantes ex H. Jacobsen.
