038C8793FFB7012B709854FAFC48059E.taxon	materials_examined	Type: — [COMORO ISLANDS. Grande Comore], undated, likely July 1886, [Mr L. J. H.] Humblot 1570 (lectotype Herb. P barcodeP 00431000 [image of the specimen accessible online at http: // coldb. mnhn. fr / catalognumber / mnhn / p / p 00431000]), here designated as lectotype (Fig. 1). Homotypic synonym: — Bryophyllum adelae (Raym. - Hamet) Berger (1930: 412). Heterotypic synonym: — Kalanchoe floribunda Tulasne (1857: 150), non [K. floribunda] Wight & Walker-Arnot (1834: 359), nom. illeg. (Turland et al. 2018: Art. 53.1). Type: — [COMORO ISLANDS.] Iles Comores, Angazija, 1847 – 1852, M. [Louis-Hyacinthe] Boivin s. n. (lectotype Herb. P barcode P 00431004 [image of the specimen accessible online at http: // coldb. mnhn. fr / catalognumber / mnhn / p / p 00431004]), designated by Smith & Figueiredo (2023 b: 280) (Fig. 2). Nomenclatural notes on the type of Kalanchoe adelae: — When treating K. adelae, the only material that Hamet (1908: 26) cited was “ [M. [Mr] Humblot, no 1570!] ”, “ Madagascar ” [sic, it should have been “ Comoro Islands ”]. At least four specimens that were all collected by [L. J. H.] Humblot under his collecting number “ 1570 ”, as cited by Hamet (1908: 26), exist at Herb. P. These four specimens — all of them syntypes (see Turland et al. 2018: Art. 9.6 and Note 1 under Art. 40) — were mounted on four different sheets. These specimens can be identified as follows with reference to the various labels attached to them: 1. A printed label headed “ Herbier E. Drake ” that was stamped “ Humblot. – COMORES ” and completed by hand as “ 1570 Kalanchoe Adelae R. Hamet ” with the date “ juillet 1886 ” added in the same handwriting. An undated, handwritten determinavit slip that was signed by Henri Humbert, stating: “ = K. floribunda Tul. non W. et Arn ” is also attached to the mounting board. [The preserved material is of a flowering specimen that lacks leaves.] Herb. P barcode P 00430999. 2. A printed label headed “ HERB. MUS. PARIS ” that was completed by hand as “ No 1570 Kalanchoe Adelae R. Hamet [.] R. Hamet determinavit [.] M. Humblot ”. A small piece of paper attached to the specimen carries the handwritten number “ 1570 ”. A handwritten determinavit slip dated 2 February 1923 that was signed by Henri Humbert, stating: “ = K. floribunda Tul. (non W. et Arn.) ” is also attached to the mounting board. [The preserved material is of a flowering specimen with leaves, as well as, presumably, plant fragments enclosed in a folded paper capsule.] Herb. P barcode P 00431000. 3. A printed label headed “ Herbier E. Drake ” that was stamped “ Humblot. – COMORES ” and completed by hand as “ Kalanchoe Adelae R. Hamet ” with the date “ juillet 1886 ” added in the same handwriting. The number “ 1570 ” handwritten on a small piece of paper is attached to the specimen. A handwritten determinavit slip dated February 1933 that was signed by Henri Humbert, stating: “ = Kalanchoe Adelae R. Hamet = K. floribunda Tul. (non W. et Arn.) ” is also attached to the mounting board. [Leaf material only is attached to the mounting board.] Herb. P barcode P 00431001. 4. A printed label of which the heading is obscured by leaf material, stating “ Kalanchoe Adelae R. Hamet ” and signed by R. Hamet, with “ Madagascar ” [crossed out] and replaced by “ Grande Comore ”. The number “ 1570 ” handwritten on a small piece of paper is attached to the specimen. An undated, handwritten determinavit slip that was signed by Henri Humbert, stating: “ = K. floribunda Tul. non W. et Arn. ” is also attached to the mounting board. [The preserved material is of a flowering specimen with a few leaves.] Herb. P barcode P 00431002. Dorr (1997: 128) recorded that the herbarium of Emmanuel Drake del Castillo (1855 – 1904) includes collections made by, inter alia, Humblot, which explains the printed labels headed “ Herbier E. Drake ” attached to some of the Humblot specimens. Other Humblot specimens were apparently sent directly to Herb. P. Drake’s contributions to the taxonomy of Kalanchoe were treated in Smith & Figueiredo (2022: 158 – 165). The four accessions enumerated as “ 1. ” to “ 4. ”, above, were all clearly given the number [L. J. H.] Humblot] 1570 and all four qualify as original material because they were obviously available to Raymond-Hamet at Herb. P well before he published the name K. adelae in 1907 and treated the species in 1908. Of these four specimens the [L. J. H.] Humblot 1570 specimen — the most complete one — that can be identified as Herb. P barcode P 00431000 is designated here as the lectotype of the name K. adelae (Fig. 1). Descoings (2003: 144) stated that the “ T: ” of the name K. adelae is “ Comoro Islands (Boivin s. n. [P]) ”. This attempted typification of the name K. adelae on non-Humblot material was not effective. The abbreviation “ T: ” is defined simply as “ (nomenclatural) type ” in Eggli (2003: X). Rather, the specimen [Louis-Hyacinthe] Boivin s. n. is the lectotype of the name K. floribunda Tulasne (1857: 150), non [K. floribunda] Wight & Walker-Arnot (1834: 359), nom. illeg. Taxonomic note: — The name K. adelae is in use for an accepted species.	en	Smith, Gideon F. (2024): The taxonomy and nomenclature associated with Kalanchoe adelae (Crassulaceae subfam.
