TYPE LOCALITY . — Antilles (vs herb. desfont.) . REMARKS De Candolle (1836) created a new combination using the name Gnaphalium solidaginoides Poir. In protologue, Poiret mentioned that he saw the specimen (or specimens) in Desfontaines’s herbarium (vs herb. desfont.). It is not clear whether Poiret saw a single specimen or more than one specimen at Desfontaine’s herbarium. Poiret (1812) also stated that the species was collected from Antilles (“cette plante croît aux Antilles”. We found three sheets of Poiret’s Gnaphalium solidaginoides specimen from FI, GDC and P. No herbarium or a specific sheet is mentioned in the protologue. These sheets are syntypes according to article 9.6 of Shenzhen code. Hence all the three sheets qualified to be original material. The general herbarium of Desfontaines was acquired by Webb and is now at FI ( Stafleu & Cowan 1976 ), so we chose FI sheet (FI006309) as the lectotype for the name Blumea solidaginoides .
