2. Apium andinum Philippi (1894: 717) .

Lectotype (designated here):— CHILE. Vegas del Toro , F. A. Philippi s.n. ( SGO000003634 !).

= Apium panul (Bertero ex Candolle 1830: 669) Reiche (1899: 832) .

Notes:—The protologue of Apium andinum ( Philippi, 1894) indicates a collection from F. Philippi in “monte Doña Ana, loco dicto Vegas del Toro”, without collection date. We have found four specimens at SGO that do not show identifications as Apium andinum by the author, but match the protologue, and were collected by F. Philippi (SGO000003632, SGO000003633, SGO000003634, SGO000003762). All labels indicate Vegas del Toro, but they are not identical in additional information and therefore we do not consider them part of the same gathering. Moreover, these specimens also match the protologue of Pimpinella andina Philippi (1894: 85 ; see its typification below). We have designated SGO000003634 as the lectotype of Apium andinum because it is a complete specimen with basal leaves, flowers and fruits, that agrees with Philippi´s description in all details.
