Description
Oscularia deltoides, commonly known as the deltoid-leaved dewplant, dassievygie, or sandsteenvygie, is a member of the Aizoaceae family. It is a succulent plant native to the south-western Cape in South Africa. The species is also recorded in Great Britain and the Cape Provinces. The name was published in 1927 by Schwantes. A discussion in Chapter 7 of Linnaean Plant Names and their Types references Preston & Sell (1989), who examine the lectotype selection for this species, focusing on Dillenius' own coloured copy of his work in Oxford.
