The taxonomic position of Lotononis falcata (E. Mey.) Benth. and related species is briefly discussed. These species were previously included in the section Leptis (Eckl. & Zeyh.) Benth. but new information indicates an affinity with the section Oxydium Benth. Four new species of this group are described: L. fruticoides B-E. van Wyk, L. pachycarpa Dinter ex B-E. van Wyk, L. linearifolia B-E. van Wyk and L. schreiberi B-E. van Wyk. The known geographical distribution and diagnostic characters of the new species are given.
