Introduction

Current work towards a treatment of the Compositae tribe Anthemideae for Flora Zambesiaca has necessitated a review of the literature and herbarium material, especially for the genus Inulanthera Källersjö. Based on fruit structure, provided a reassessment of the generic delimitation of Athanasia L. In doing so she provided many new combinations in recognising, or re-recognising (‘reviving’), several genera; Inulanthera was described as new, and ten new combinations proposed. Regrettably, one of these, a Madagascan endemic, was provided without a basionym reference, and therefore illegitimate as it was published post-1953. In order to provide a valid name for use in any future revision, which is certainly necessary, the following new combination is provided:

Inulanthera brownii (Hochr.) Källersjö ex D. J. N. Hind, comb. nov.
