VALIDATION OF SOME RECENT CHILEAN TAXONOMIC NOVELTIES IN ERIOSYCE PHIL. (CACTACEAE)

Abstract

A. E. Hoffmann & H. E. Walter (2004) published taxonomic novelties invalidly in the latest edition of their book on
Cactaceae in Chile. It also contained an orthographical inaccuracy. All these occur in the genus Eriosyce as revised and
expanded by Katterman (1994). They are rectified here with the colaboration of the original authors. Further observations
are added about rare and interesting taxa treated in Hoffmann & Walter.
