>(Thunb.) Bolus & Wolley-Dod<

This species was first described as Aster aethiopicus by Nicolaas Laurens Burman in 1768, and was based on a specimen from the herbarium of his father Johannes Burman. In 1817, Henri Cassini described a specimen in his personal herbarium, calling it Agathaea microphylla. Sprengel in 1822 describe Cineraria trachyphylla. In 1832, Christian Friedrich Lessing invalidly renamed Burman’s specimen, calling it Aster capensis. Cassini’s specimen was reassigned by Jens Vahl in 1836, creating the combination Cineraria aethiopica. A specimen that had been collected in 1838 by Johan Carl Krauss on the Duyvelsberg, was described by Carl Heinrich 'Bipontinus' Schultz in 1843, naming it Agathaea kraussii, but he demoted it in 1844 to Agathaea amelloides β kraussii. In 1865, William Henry Harvey, who was a lumper, sunk Agataea in Aster, creating the combination Aster kraussii. He also distinguished Aster aethiopicus var. glandulosus. Harry Bolus and Anthony Hurt Wolley-Dod assigned the species to the genus Felicia, and created the combination Felicia aethiopica.
