During studies of the genus Dicoma (Asteraceae: Mutisieae), and specifically of the material collected by Dinter in Namibia, we have found a new species named Dicoma obconica . This species has previously been misinterpreted as D. picta (Thunb.) Druce. We present a description with illustrations, and discuss relationships with D. picta and with D. dinteri S. Moore, the most similar species of the genus. © 2002 The Linnean Society of London, Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society , 2002, 139 , 317–322.
