    A re-assessment of the genera Tridentea Haw. and Tromotriche Haw
    (Elsevier, 1995) Bruyns, P
    The generic delimitation of Tridentea Haw. and Tromotriche Haw. is considered, Eight species are retained in Tridentea: T. dwequensis (Lückhoff) Leach, T. gemmiflora (Masson) Haw., T. jucunda (N.E. Br.) Leach, I pachyrrhiza (Dinter) Leach, T. parvipuncta (N.E. Br.) Leach, T. marientalensis (Nel) Leach and T virescens (N.E. Br.) Leach. The remaining species are transferred to Tromotriche. Tromotriche engleriana (Schltr.) Leach is referred back to Stapelia as Stapelia engleriana Schltr. Tromotriche then consists of the following 11 species: T. aperta (Masson) Sweet, T. baylissii (Leach) Bruyns, T. choanantha (Lavranos & Hall) Bruyns, T. herrei (Net) Bruyns, T. longii (Lückhoff) Bruyns, T. longipes (Lückhoff) Bruyns, T. pedunculata (Masson) Bruyns, T. revoluta (Masson) Haw., T. ruschiana (Dinter) Bruyns, T. thudichumli (Pillans) Leach and T. umdausensis (Nel) Bruyns. Careful arguments are advanced to justify these changes.
