11. Cryptantha filaginea Reiche, Anales Univ. Chile 121: 829. 1907.

Cryptantha filaginea ≡ Eritrichium filagineum Phil., Anales Univ. Chile 90: 536. 1895. Type: Chile. Región de Atacama: Monte Amargo, Sep. 1885, F. Philippi s.n. (first-step lectotype, designated by Johnston 1927, pg. 47: SGO; second-step lectotype, designated here: SGO [SGO000004075 digital image!]; isolectotypes: GH [GH00096386 digital image!], SGO [SGO000004074 digital image!]).

Note.

The protologue of Eritrichium filagineum (Philippi, 1895) includes a direct reference to a collection made by F. Philippi between Caldera and Copiapó, Chile. Two duplicates of a collection in agreement with the protologue and annotated, in R. A. Philippi’s hand, as " Eritrichium filagineum " were found at SGO. According to Johnston (1927), the type element of this species is housed at SGO, and therefore his statement is here interpreted as a first-step lectotype designation. In this context, the duplicate SGO000004075 is here selected as a second-step lectotype of the name.
