Abstract

Aspects of the nomenclature of Kalanchoe rosea C.B.Clarke (1889), K. bouvieri Raym.- Hamet & H.Perrier (1912), K. rosei Raym.-Hamet & H.Perrier (1914), and K. rosea A.Chev. (1920) (Crassulaceae) are discussed and clarified. We argue that Kalanchoe rosea C.B.Clarke is a little known Indian species and that the name is not of unresolved application; that K. rosea A.Chev. (1920) that was published for a North African species is of unresolved application; and that the two validly published names K. bouvieri and K. rosei apply to the same Madagascan species, with the latter being a heterotypic synonym of the former. The name Kalanchoe rosea C.B.Clarke is lecto- and epitypified, and we show that the conditions for valid publication were met in the protologue of the later homonym K. rosea A.Chev.
