Cryptantha kingii (Phil.) Reiche, Anales Univ. Chile 121: 815. 1907. Cryptantha kingii ≡ Eritrichium kingii Phil., Anales Univ. Chile 90: 516. 1895. Type: Chile. Region de Atacama: "Prope Carrizal Bajo", s.d., G. King s.n. (Type not found). Cryptantha kingii = Eritrichium virens Phil., Anales Univ. Chile 90: 519. 1895. Cryptantha virens (Phil.) Reiche, Anales Univ. Chile 121: 826. 1907. Type: Chile. Region de Atacama: Bandurrias, 1885, G. Geisse s.n. (first-step lectotype, designated by Johnston 1927 , pg. 72: SGO; second-step lectotype, designated here: SGO [SGO000004149 digital image!]; isolectotype: SGO [SGO000004150 digital image!]). Note. Rudolph A. Philippi (1895) based the diagnosis of Eritrichium virens on a collection made by Guillermo Geisse in Copiapo , on the road to Chanarcillo , Chile. Johnston (1927) , in his revision of South American Cryptantha , referred to a specimen lodged at SGO as the "type" of the name. However, two duplicates studied by Philippi were located at SGO in agreement with the protologue. Thus, Johnston's choice is here interpreted as a first-step lectotypification. In order to narrow this designation, the specimen SGO000004149 is here selected as a second-step lectotype.
