Notes.

When compared to its present on-line image (http://plants.jstor.org/specimen/ma810531), a photograph (F-negative no. 29435) of the lectotype of Isidrogalvia falcata taken by J. Francis Macbride of the Field Museum before World War II shows that the original label (" Isidrogalvia falcata Sp. Pl. Fl. Per. de Pillao") was moved from the center of the specimen to the lower left-hand corner.

Tofieldia frigida was based on a collection or collections made by F.W.H.A. von Humboldt & A.J.A. Bonpland in Ecuador ("Crescit in frigidis regni Quitensis inter Loxam et pagum Ona, in summis montibus Saraguri, et Alpachacae, alt. 1200-1400 hexap, … Floret Decembri."). While no material with this name was found in Paris (P-Bonpl.) ( Stauffer et al. 2012), the type specimen of Tofieldia flexuosa in B-W is annotated as Isidrogalvis [sic] frigida Klotzsch, nom. nud. This strongly supports that the names Tofieldia frigida and Tofieldia flexuosa are based on the same gathering (i.e., F.W.H.A. von Humboldt & A.J.A. Bonpland 3383) and we have selected this collection to neotypify the name Tofieldia frigida .
