First collected by Peter MacOwan in the eastern Amatholes in 1868, the species was described by Joseph Hooker in Icones Plantarum (published from 1867 to 1871). This mostly southern African genus, with M. revoluta being the ‘type’, was taxonomically revised in 1927 by Christo Smith. We suggest the common name of Amathole Macowania for this species.enBotanical Society of SAMacowania revolutaAmathole Mountains, Eastern Cape provinceIcones plantarumArticle
