Nomenclature of
Kalanchoe miniata
of
Boiteau & Mannoni (1948b)
Twenty-four and 20 years after
Perrier de la Bâthie (1924)
and
Perrier de la Bâthie (1928)
, respectively, validly published several new names at the ranks of
race and
variety, and made one new combination under
K. miniata
,
Boiteau & Mannoni (1948b)
also proposed an infraspecific classification for
K. miniata
and when doing so partially adopted the classification of
Perrier de la Bâthie (1924
,
1928
), but now consistently at the rank of variety, i.e., they did not publish names for ‘races’. They recognised the following taxa:
1.
K. miniata
var. ‘
typica
’
Boiteau & Mannoni (1948b: 37)
,
nom. inval
. (
Turland
et al
. 2018
: Art. 24.3), i.e.,
K. miniata
var.
miniata
;
2.
K. miniata
var.
subpeltata
(
Baker 1887: 472
)
Boiteau & Mannoni (1948b: 38)
;
3.
K. miniata
var.
confertifolia
(
Perrier de la Bâthie 1924: 22
)
Boiteau & Mannoni (1948b: 38)
;
4.
K. miniata
var.
subsessillis
(
Perrier de la Bâthie 1924: 22
)
Boiteau & Mannoni (1948b: 38)
;
5. ‘
K. miniata
var.
sicaformis
’
Boiteau & Mannoni (1948b: 38)
,
nom. inval
. (
Turland
et al
. 2018
: Art. 39.1);
6.
K. miniata
var.
andringitrensis
(
Perrier de la Bâthie 1924: 22
)
Boiteau & Mannoni (1948b: 39)
, an isonym with no nomenclatural status (see discussion below); and
7.
K. miniata
var.
anjirensis
Perrier de la Bâthie (1928: 19)
.

With the exception of two names,
K. miniata
var. ‘
typica
’, number 1, above, and ‘
K. miniata
var.
sicaformis
’, number 5, above, which were not validly published, four of the other five names (numbers 2, 3, 4, and 6) that
Boiteau & Mannoni (1948b)
applied to infraspecific taxa they recognised in
K. miniata
were earlier mentioned, or validly published by
Perrier de la Bâthie (1924
,
1928
) at the rank of either ‘race’([1]
K. miniata
var.
subpeltata
; [2]
K. miniata
var.
confertifolia
; [3]
K. miniata
var.
subsessillis
) or variety ([4]
K. miniata
var.
andringitrensis
; [5]
K. miniata
var.
anjirensis
).
Boiteau & Mannoni (1948b)
clearly provided references to where the basionyms were published by
Baker (1887)
and
Perrier de la Bâthie (1924
,
1928
), respectively, and they validly published the following new combinations at the rank of variety:
K. miniata
var.
subpeltata
;
K. miniata
var.
confertifolia
; and
K. miniata
var.
subsessillis
.
One varietal name,
K. miniata
var.
andringitrensis
(
Perrier de la Bâthie 1924: 22
)
Perrier de la Bâthie (1928: 19)
, was already earlier published at a new rank, that of variety, by
Perrier de la Bâthie (1928: 19)
himself. When
Boiteau & Mannoni (1948b: 39)
published “
Var. andringitrensis
H. Perrier in Bull. Acad. Malg. VI, 1922–23, p. 22”, they published
K. miniata
var.
andringitrensis
(
Perrier de la Bâthie 1924: 22
)
Boiteau & Mannoni (1948b: 39)
, an isonym that has no status under
Turland
et al
. (2018
: Art. 6.3 Note 2).
