Notes.

Clos’ (1849) described Eritrichium globuliferum based on two syntypes from Chile. The first collection was made by C. Gay (no. 47) in Coquimbo, while the other one was also made by him (s.n.) in Copiapó. Pérez-Moreau (1976) discussed this name and its original material, stating "Chile. Coquimbo, común en dunas de la costa, La Serena, C. Gay 47, IX-1836 (tipo de E. globuliferum , P)". However, Pérez-Moreau’s statement is insufficiently precise since it cannot be ascertained to which of the two specimens at P he was referring. Thus, his choice is here interpreted as a first-step lectotypification. In order to narrow this designation, the specimen P00606762 is here selected as a second-step lectotype.

In describing Eritrichium glareosum , Rudolph A. Philippi (1864) cited a collection made in "alveo fluminis Aconcagua", Chile. Two specimens of this collection in agreement with the protologue are found at SGO. These duplicates all bear original labels annotated by Philippi with the identification of " E. glareosum " and agree with the diagnosis cited in the protologue. Johnston (1927) referred to a sheet lodged at SGO as the “type” of E. glareosum and, thus, his statement is here interpreted as a first-step lectotype designation. In order to narrow this earlier designation, the specimen SGO000004086 is here selected as a second-step lectotype.

Rudolph A. Philippi (1895) described Eritrichium carrizalense based on a Rosario Godoy de Callao collection made in Yerba Buena, Chile. A duplicate of this material, annotated in Philippi’s hand as " Eritrichium carrizalense ", was lodged at B and now destroyed but a photograph from Macbride’s Berlin negatives (neg. 17371) is available at F with a copy at GH. Furthermore, there is a duplicate at herbarium SGO and fragments of the syntype at B lodged at GH. Johnston (1927) referred to the original material of this name, stating that the “type” was lodged at SGO; in the protologue of the species, however, there is no indication of any particular specimen as such. Thus, Johnston’s (1927) statement is here interpreted as a lectotype designation.

The protologue of Eritrichium sphaerophorum ( Philippi 1895) includes a direct reference to a collection made by Rudolph A. Philippi near Caldera, Chile, in 1879. Johnston (1927) clearly indicated a sheet housed at SGO as the “type”, although an additional element, also annotated in Philippi’s hand as " Eritrichium sphaerophorum " was located there in agreement with the protologue. In this context, Johnston’s (1927) choice is here interpreted as a first-step lectotypification. In order to narrow this designation, the specimen SGO000004137 is selected as a second-step lectotype.
