Notes

The following 2 names were placed under P. schumanniana by Bremekamp (1934: 171–172), but later reinstated by Bridson (2001: 598–599) and Figueiredo (2008):

Pavetta arenicola K.Schum., Kunene-Sambesi-Exped. [Warburg]: 391 (1903)
Pavetta stipulopallium K.Schum., Kunene-Sambesi-Exped. [Warburg]: 392 (1903)

The following species (especially populations from KwaZulu-Natal) had been misidentified several times as P. schumanniana until the first description:

Pavetta vanwykiana Bridson, Kew Bull. 56(3): 596 (2001)
