Cryptantha dimorpha ≡ Eritrichium dimorphum Phil., Linnaea 29: 16. 1857. Type: Chile. Región Metropolitana de Santiago: Cordillera de Santiago, Feb. 1857, R.A. Philippi s.n. (lectotype, designated by Johnston 1927, pg. 67: SGO [SGO000004066 digital image!]; isolectotypes: CORD [CORD00003771 digital image!], GH [GH00096384 digital image!], S [S no. 12-25247 digital image!]).

Note.

Rudolph A. Philippi (1857) based the diagnosis of Eritrichium dimorphum on a collection he made in Santiago, Chile, without explicit further reference to any locality. Johnston (1927), in his revision of Cryptantha in South America, referred to a specimen lodged at SGO as the “type” of the name. However, an additional duplicate annotated, in Philippi’s hand, as " Eritrichium dimorphum ", is found at CORD. Both specimens are in agreement with the diagnosis as referred to by Philippi (1857). Therefore, the element cited by Johnston and his statement must be considered as an effective lectotypification of the name.
