18. Cryptantha spathulata (Phil.) Reiche, Anales Univ. Chile 121: 823. 1907.

Cryptantha spathulata ≡ Eritrichium spathulatum Phil., Anales Univ. Chile 90: 517. 1895. Type: Chile. [ Región del Libertador General Bernardo O’Higgins:] Colchagua de Popeta, 1881, F. Philippi s.n. (first-step lectotype, designated by Johnston 1927, pg. 58: SGO; second-step lectotype, designated here: SGO [SGO000004135 digital image!]; isolectotypes: GH [GH00096577 digital image!], SGO [SGO000004134 digital image!]).

Note.

In describing Eritrichium spathulatum, Rudolph A. Philippi (1895) cited a collection made by F. Philippi in Colchagua de Popeta, Chile. Two duplicates of this gathering in agreement with the protologue and annotated as " Eritrichium spathulatum " by Philippi are found at SGO. Johnston (1927) referred to the “type” as lodged at SGO and, therefore, his statement must be considered as a first-step lectotypification. In order to narrow this broad designation, the specimen SGO000004135 is here selected as a second-step lectotype.
