Ectotropis (Aizoaceae) in the upwind - with a second species

Initiated by the description of a new species in Delosperma closely resembling members of the genus Ectotropis, an investigation was begun again to determine the circumscription of Ectotropis. As a result, Ectotropis as a genus can be confirmed, based mainly on flower and fruit morphology, and two species are recognized: E. alpina N.E. Br, and E. seanii-hoganii (Niederle) H.K. Hartmann & C. Schroder, comb. nov.
