1. Tristagma ameghinoi (Speg.) Spegazzini. (1902: 7)

Bas.: Brodiaea ameghinoi Spegazzini (1897: 575) . Type (lectotype, designated here):—s.l., s.d., s.coll., s.n. (LPS 11739! stored at LP 004243!). Fig. 4D .

Note: — In the protologue, Spegazzini (1897) mentioned: “Hab. In pratis sabulosis secus Golfo de San Jorge, Febr. 1896 (C. A.) [Carlos Ameghino]”. No Ameghino herbarium material was found except in Spegazzini’s personal herbarium where we found a sheet (digital image LP 004243) annotated “ Tristagma ameghinoi Speg. ” and “ Brodieae (Triteleia) ameghinoi Speg. ” in Spegazzini’s handwriting. Even though the label does not indicate when, where, or by whom the material was collected, we can assume that it was studied by Spegazzini when he was describing this species.
