Cryptantha subamplexicaulis ≡ Eritrichium subamplexicaule Phil., Fl. Atacam. 39. 1860. Type: Chile. Región de Antofagasta: Paposo, Dec. 1853, R.A. Philippi s.n. (lectotype, designated by Johnston 1927, pg. 41: SGO [SGO000004139 digital image!]; isolectotypes: GH [GH00096579 digital image!], HAL [HAL0115278 digital image!]).

Note.

In the protologue of Eritrichium subamplexicule , Rudolph A. Philippi (1860) cited a collection he made near Paposo, Chile. There are two sheets of apparent original material, which agree with the diagnosis and cited locality, at HAL and SGO. Both specimens were presumably studied by Philippi since they were annotated, in his hand, as " Eritrichium subamplexicaule ". The material at SGO was referred to as the “type” of the species name by Johnston (1927). Therefore, the element cited by him must be considered as an effective lectotypification.
