Abstract

The taxonomy of, and nomenclature applicable to, Kalanchoe millotii Raym.-Hamet & H.Perrier (Crassulaceae) are discussed with special reference to the typification of this name. A previous claim that the name has a holotype is incorrect. The name K. millotii is [second-step] lectotypified on a specimen, [J.M.H.A.] Perrier [de la Bâthie] 11789, barcode P P00374225, held in Herb. P. An amplified description is provided for this distinctive Madagascan species. The early history of the cultivar Kalanchoe ‘Fern Leaf’ is also discussed and clarified. This cultivar was selected from hybrid offspring raised at Hummel's Exotic Gardens of southern California; the parent stock was given as K. beharensis Drake and K. millotii.
