Treatment

Sabdariffa paolii (Mattei) Mwachala & R.L.Barrett View in CoL , comb. nov.

Hibiscus paolii Mattei in Chiovenda , Result. Sci . Somalia Ital. 1: 32 (1916). Type: Somalia: Bur-Meldàc [=Meel Daaq], 23 July 1913, G. Paoli 699 (holo: FT 002314 ; iso: PAL [sketch BM 012890 ]) .

Descriptions and illustrations

Mattei (1916, p. 32); Thulin (1999 a, p. 339); Wilson (1999, p. 77).

Notes

Wilson (1999, p. 77) only saw a sketch of S. paolii , therefore considered this to be a poorly known taxon related to S. rostellata . Thulin (1999 a, p. 339) examined the type at FT (the only known collection) and maintained the species as distinct as this differs significantly in indumentum features.

Distribution

Southern Somalia.
