Cryptantha cynoglossoides ≡ Eritrichium cynoglossoides Phil., Linnaea 29: 16. 1858. Type: Chile. Región de Coquimbo: Arqueros, Oct. 1836, C. Gay s.n. (holotype: SGO [SGO000004057 digital image!]).

Cryptantha cynoglossoides = Eritrichium uspallatense Phil., Anales Univ. Chile 90: 521. 1895. Type: Argentina. Mendoza: Baños del Inca, Jan. 1886, A. Borchers s.n. (first-step lectotype, designated by Johnston 1927, pg. 68: SGO; second-step lectotype, designated here: SGO [SGO000004144 digital image!]; GH [GH00096583 digital image!]; SGO [SGO000004145 digital image!]).

Note.

In the protologue of Eritrichium uspallatense , Rudolph A. Philippi (1895) indicated that his diagnosis was based on material collected by Augusto Borchers in Baños del Inca, Mendoza, Argentina. Johnston (1927) extensively revised the type collection linked to this name and stated by direct citation that the type is housed at SGO. However, two duplicates were found there in agreement with the protologue. Consequently, Johnston’s (1927) statement must be considered as a first-step typification. In order to narrow his designation, the specimen SGO000004144 is here selected as a second-step lectotype (Art. 9.17 of the ICN, Turland et al. 2018).
