Treatment

1. Kalanchoe gracilipes (Baker) Baillon (1885: 469) View in CoL .

Basionym:— Kitchingia gracilipes Baker (1881: 268) View in CoL . Homotypic synonym:— Bryophyllum gracilipes (Baker) Eggli (1992: 84) . Type:— MADAGASCAR. Betsileoland, southeast-central Madagascar, [comm.] May 1880 [given as “1879” by Boiteau & Allorge-Boiteau (1995: 42), apparently the date on the K specimen, which is not available for examination online], [Langley] Kitching s.n., (lectotype K), designated by Boiteau & Allorge-Boiteau (1995: 42); (isolectotype P, P00374109!, http://coldb.mnhn.fr/catalognumber/mnhn/ p/p00374109).

Additional material examined:—P00431008, P00431009, P00431010, P00431011, P00431012, P00431013, P00431014, P00431015, P00431017, P00431018, P00431019, P00431020, P00431021, P00431022, P00431023, P00431024, P00431025, P00431030, P00431031, P00431032, and P00431036 [Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle, Paris ( France), Collection: Vascular plants (Herb. P)].

1a. Kalanchoe gracilipes var. microphylla Humbert ex L.Allorge View in CoL in Boiteau & Allorge-Boiteau (1995: 46).

Type:— MADAGASCAR. Toliara, southeastern Madagascar, Massif de l’Andohahela , 1700–1900 m asl, H. Humbert 13579 (lectotype P, P00431005 !, http://coldb.mnhn.fr/catalognumber/mnhn/p/p00431005), here designated .

Note on the type:— Three H. Humbert 13579 specimens exist at Herb. P, all labelled as “ TYPE ”, in red ink, including: (1) P00431005 ; http://coldb.mnhn.fr/catalognumber/mnhn/p/p00431005; (2) P00431006 ; http://coldb.mnhn.fr/ catalognumber/mnhn/p/p00431006; and (3) P00431007 ; http://coldb.mnhn.fr/catalognumber/mnhn/p/p00431007. Boiteau & Allorge-Boiteau (1995: 46) did not indicate which one of these three specimens is the type of Kalanchoe gracilipes var. microphylla . All indications are that these three specimens, syntypes, refer to a single gathering; for example, all three are dated “ Janvier 1934 ” .

Under Turland et al. (2018: Art. 9.10) the term holotype as used by Boiteau & Allorge-Boiteau (1995: 46) is corrected to syntype, and one of the Humbert 13579 specimens, with barcode P00431005 is designated as lectotype .

Additional material examined:—Only three specimens were available for examination online (see “Note on the type ”, above).
