Aizoon camforosma

Placement status: name of verified uncertain application (No type could be linked to this name. The glabrous leaves mentioned in the protologue excludes this species from Galenia. However, glabrous, slender leaves and axillary and pedunculate flowers agree with most features of Acrosanthes. All species of Acrosanthes have opposite leaves (Adamson, 1959a), which is in conflict with the protologue, where the leaves were said to be alternate. There is thus doubt whether this species even belongs to the Aizoaceae. [Klak & al. 2017])
