The protologue of Gomphrena globosa var. albiflora ( Moquin-Tandon 1849:409) consists of a short diagnosis (“floribus subargenteo-albis”) that is followed by the indication of some specimens (syntypes according to Art. 9.5): “ In regni Mexicani provincià Oaxacâ ( Galeotti ! n.429 et 443), inter Victoria et Tula (Berland.! n.2228), prope Tamaulipas (id. n. 2130), prope Mendozam ( Gillies !), in Javà (Zoll.! 2944 an culta?); in hortis culta” .

Holzhammer (1956: 193) indicated the collection Galeotti 429 as “Typus varietatis“. Based on Art. 7.10, Holzhammer’s statement is to be interpreted as a lectotypification.Actually there are further three Galeotti’s specimens at P (codes 00622633, 00622632, and 00622631) and two at BR (codes 21450990, and 021451003). All these five specimens refer to the same gathering. According to Art. 9.17 (see e.g., Ex. 12) Holzhammer’s indication should be referred to only one of these specimens. I designate here the specimen P-00622632 as a second-step lectotype of the name Gomphrena globosa var. albiflora .

According to Pedersen (1990), Gomphrena globosa var. albiflora is a synonym of Gomphrena boliviana Moquin-Tandon (1849: 401) .
