Checklist of Bolivian Compositae - Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew

*Mutisia homoeantha Wedd., Chloris Andina 1: 21 (1855). Type: ‗Hab. BOLIVIE: bord des précipices, dans les
montagnes du sud du département de Chuquisaca!, à une élévation d‘environ 3500 mètres (Wedd.).‘
Holotype: P; isotype: F (970346 -fragments only, 2 leaves, a shoot apex and remnants of one capitulum).
Note: Cabrera (1965: 137) cited the holotype as Weddell 4075.
Argentina, Bolivia (Chuquisaca).
3500 m.
*Mutisia iserni Phil., Anales Univ. Chile 85: 823 (1894) = Mutisia cochabambensis Hieron.
Mutisia kurtzii R. E. Fr., Nova Acta Regiae Soc. Sci. Upsal., ser. 4, 1(1): 94 (1905). Type: [Argentina:] ‗Prov.
Jujuy: Tilcara, Quebrada de Juelle, in glareosis (21 Febr. 1901; KURTZ 11732).‘ Holotype: S. Note: Cabrera
(1965: 101) cited the holotype as F. Claren 11732, with the holotype in S and an isotype in BAF.
var. kurtzii
Argentina, Bolivia (?).
Cabrera (1965: 101) suggested that this species might also occur in southern Bolivia, as might the var. anomala
which occurs throughout the same range as the type variety. Both varieties will have to be looked out for.
var. anomala (Lillo) Cabrera, Opera Lilloana 13: 103 (1965).
Mutisia anomala Lillo, [Reseña fitogeográfica de la Prov. de Tucumán.] Actas Prim. Reunión Nac. Soc. Argent.
Ci. Nat., Tucumán 1916: 230 (1919). Type: [Argentina: ?Tucumán] ‗Es un arbusto de hasta 2 metros, comön
en la regiñn de la Puna.‘ [Lectotype (selected by Descole et al., 1939: 61): [Argentina:] ‗Tucumán. Dep.
Trancas: Cumbres Calchaquíes: Lara, alt. 4000 m, Baer, II-1903‘, LIL.] Note: Cabrera (1934: 158), after
providing the relevant extract of Lillo‘s text, noted ‗Nomen seminudum‘ but without any other comments.
Lillo provided minimal distinction from Mutisia kurtzii and a note on the locality only. Cabrera‘s Latin
description (Cabrera, 1934: 158) is more than ample to distinguish the taxon, although no type was, but
several specimens were, cited.
var. anomala (Lillo) Cabrera, Revista Invest. Agríc. 11(4): 409 (1958). This new combination (Cabrera, 1958:
409) was not published with full and direct reference to its basionym; it is therefore invalid following ICBN
2006 - Art. 33.4.
Argentina, Bolivia (?).
4000 m.
February.
Note: Descole et al. (1939) have provided a commentary on several of Lillo‘s new taxa that appeared in the
‗Resena ...‘ as well as lectotypifying the names they treated, and citing other material in LIL corresponding to
the species. Most of Lillo‘s taxa are also illustrated (in Descole et al., 1939) with a half-tone plate of the
corresponding lectotype, some also accompanied by black and white illustrations of dissections.
Mutisia lanata Ruiz & Pav., Syst. Veg. Fl. Peruv. Chil. 1: 192 (1798). Type: ‗Habitat in Peruviae nemoribus
prope Muða vicum in Pozuz via. Floret à Julio ad Septembrem.‘ Holotype: MA (B4 on microfiche sheet 294 of
the Ruiz & Pavon herbarium); probable isotype: MA (B2 on microfiche sheet 294 of the Ruiz & Pavón
herbarium) but unannotated, other than an MA name label. B3 is similarly identified as M. lanata but is most
probably not original material as the bottom of the label is marked ‗Ex Herb. Fl. Peru/anno 1828‘.
Mutisia bipontini Mandon ex Sch.Bip., Bull. Soc. Bot. France 12: 79 (1865); Linnaea 34(5): 527 (Feb. 1866), nom.
nud. (based on Mandon 6).
Mutisia bipontina Mandon ex Rusby, Mem. Torrey Bot. Club 6(1): 68 (1896). Types: [Bolivia:] ‗Espirito Santo,
1891 ([Bang] 1253) = Mandon’s no. 6 and Rusby’s 1549.‘ Lectotype (Cabrera, 1965: 36 – of ‗M. bipontini
Mandon‘): Mandon 6 – NY (00230719); isolectotypes: GH (10649), F (972045), NY (00230720 – ex Herb. J.
Torrey, 00230723 – ex W) S, P. Isosyntype (Bang 1253): GH (10648), US (00207126). Note: Cabrera (1965: 36)
effectively only carried out first stage lectotypification as neither of the sheets in NY (of Mandon 6) were
specified, although NY (00230723) is annotated as ‗Mutisia mandonii Sch.Bip. Cotype!‘, a name which has
never been published.
*Mutisia bipontina Mandon ex Weberb. in Engl. & Drude, Veget. Erde 12: 237 (1911), nom. nud.
Mutisia lanata Ruiz & Pav. var. bipontini (Mandon ex Sch.Bip.) Beauv. ex Herzog in Engl. & Drude, Veget.
