Cordylogyne argillicola (Cordylogyne argillicola)
Description
Owing to the brief description,and in the absence of any known type collection of Cordylogyne argillicola,the application of the name remained unresolved for over a century.Type material that was recently discovered in the South African Museum (SAM) collection has made it possible to give an amplified description here.A depiction from the type and additional specimens,a full scan and line-drawings of various floral parts,and a conservation assessment are presented.In addition,C.argillicola is compared to the only other species in the genus,Cordylogyne globosa,in terms of morphology and distribution.
