Abstract
Summary: Apparently unaware of Pergularia R. Br. (1811a), a later homonym of Pergularia L. (1767a, and b), Sundell (1980) retained the names for the tribes typified by the genera Ceropegia L., Marsdenia R. Br. and Stapelia L. respectively as Ceropegieae Benth. (1876), Marsdenieae N. E. Br. (1907) and Stapelieae Benth. (1868). However all the available suprageneric names based on Pergularia are truly based on Pergularia R. Br. non L. and are illegitimate. Accordingly Ceropegieae Dcne. (1842), Marsdenieae Benth. (1868) and Stapelieae Dcne. (1844) are the correct names for the tribes.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
