3. Tristagma berteroi (Kunth) S.Arroyo & Sassone , comb. nov.

Bas.: Triteleia berteri Kunth (1843: 467) ≡ Brodiaea berteri (Kunth) Fuentes (1929: 110) . Type (lectotype, designated here):— CHILE. In pascuis sabulosis, loco dicto: “Las Tablas”, Valparaíso, August 1830, in herb Bertero 1802 (GH 00029945!, isolectotype BM!) [“ Tristagma berteri Phil. ” Marticorena & Quezada (1985: 94), nom. nud.]

Notes: — Kunth (1843) named Triteleia berter [o]i to honour the Italian botanist Carlo Giuseppe Bertero. Fuentes (1929) made the new combination and cited the name as Brodiaea berteroi . Kunth (1843) mentioned “Bert. In herb. Un. Itin. No. 1802.- Valparaíso ”. Bertero’s materials are distributed in several European herbaria ( Delprete et al. 2002, Baldini & Guglielmone 2012). There is also a specimen at GH, with the handwritten number 1802 (apparently written by Bertero).

= Triteleia gaudichaudiana Kunth (1843: 467) syn. nov. ≡ Brodiaea gaudichaudiana (Kunth) Fuentes (1929:110) . Type:— CHILE. Valparaíso. 1835, Gaudichaud 61 [holotype: B (destroyed); photo: Ser. Field Museum at Chicago nº 10.018, neotype designated here: digital image available at JSTOR F0BN010018!].

Note: — Kunth (1843) described for this species “ Chili nisi Valparaíso ”, we chose as neotype, a photograph of material from B [possible destroyed during the war 1939-1945 ( Hiepko 1987)], with a handwriting of Kunth, which agrees with the protologe of Triteleia gaudichaudiana .

Conservation status: — Data Deficient (DD). We did not have enough information to make a proper assessment of conservation status.
