Kalanchoe magnidens
Brown (1905a: 370)
.
Type
:—
UGANDA
, without more precise locality information, sent to the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, by [Mr] M.T. Dawe, material flowered at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, on
20 January 1905
, specimen prepared as
N.E. Brown s.n
. (
lectotype
, K barcode K000232747 [image available at http://specimens.kew.org/herbarium/K000232747]!),
here designated
.
Taxonomic notes
:—At present the name
K. magnidens
is treated as a synonym of
K. glaucescens
Britten (1871: 393)
.
Nomenclatural notes
:—As “Type:” of the name
K. magnidens
,
Wickens (1987: 39)
cited a “specimen from
Uganda
, cultivated at Kew 1905,
Dawe
[Morley Thomas Dawe (1880–1943); see
Figueiredo & Smith (2021: 49)
and Figueiredo & Smith (in press) on Dawe] (K, holo.!)”.
Brown (1905a: 370)
did not cite any material when describing
K. magnidens
and there is no indication that he used only the
lectotype
designated here,
N.E. Brown s.n
., barcode K000232747, when publishing the name (Turland
et al
. 2028: Art. 9.1(
b
)). The name
K. magnidens
therefore does not have a
holotype
.
To prevent further confusion, the name
K. magnidens
is here lectotypified on
N.E. Brown s.n
., K000232747, held at Herb. K, which may or may not have been the Dawe specimen
Wickens (1987: 46)
had in mind.
