Salpiglossis atropurpurea Graham in Edinb. N. Phil Journ. 4: 
176. Oct-Dec 1827. “. .. .It first flowered in the greenhouse of 
Mr. Neill, Canonmills, Edinburgh, from seeds sent by Dr. 
Gillies from hills fifty miles beyond Mendoza”. In the Edin- 
burgh Herbarium we have seen a specimen prepared from 
plants cultivated at the Botanic Garden of that institution; 
although its label does not contain additional information 
beyond the Latin name, we have chosen it as a lectotype.— R. 
Graham, in Curtis’ Bot. Mag. 55, t. 2811. 1828.— Reichen- 
bach, FI. Exot. 5, t. 323. 1836. Notwithstanding the pretty illus- 
tration of four cultivars (differing in colour and form of the 
corolla), it must be pointed out that the anterior stamen has 
been incorrectly placed between the two shorter posterior ones. 
Salpiglossis picta Sweet, Brit. Fl. Gard. 3, t. 258. 1828. “... our 
drawing of this magnificent plant was made. .. .from fine speci- 
mens. . .raised from seeds that had been sent from Chile. . .”. —

Salpiglossis Barclavana Sweet, Brit. Fl. Gard. ser. 2, 2, t. 112 
1833. “... .Our figure was taken from a plant that flowered in 
the Nursery of Mr. Lee of Hammersmith. . . .”. Apparently 
there is no herbarium specimen of the plant described by 
Sweet, but the excellent illustration by E. D. Smith, leaves no 
doubt about this being a synonym.
