Summary The type species of two Iridaceous genera, Moraea and Dietes are currently known by incorrectly applied epithets. The early nomenclatural history of these two species, Moraea vegeta L. (= M. tristis (L.f.) Ker = M. juncea L. sensu N. E. Br.) and Dietes iridioides (L.) Klatt (= D. vegata (L.) N. E. Br.) is examined and the restoration of the correct epithets proposed. A third species M. juncea L. is rejected as it is not possible to identify this plant.
