S. socotra and S. transvaalensis

Hi, all,

Since I am new to the list, I hope I'll be forgiven for asking what
surely must be redundant questions.  I found Steve's wonderful
"Informal  Species List" in the Mallorn archives, and am furiously
making notes.  However, I don't see S. socotra or S. transvaalensis
mentioned anywhere on that list.  Haven't had time to look at all the
archived stuff yet.

Am I correct in guessing that these are incorrect names?  I inferred
that S. socotra may be another name for S. subspicata--i.e. one of the
specimens that Lavranos never actually collected in Socotra.  And just
looking at S. transvaalensis leads me to believe that it is S. parva
under an assumed name.

Can someone help me unravel this?  I appreciate any help I can get.
Thanks much.

Carolyn
