Argyroxiphium macrocephalum A. Gray , Proc. Amer. Acad. Arts 2: 160. 1852 [May].
Type information:
Holotype
[US]. U. S. Expl. Exped. s.n.. Maui: Mouna Haleakala [base of high crater]. Isotype(s)
[GH!, K!].
Note: Although Carr (1985) cited the US sheet as the holotype he (erroneously) annotated as a lectotype designated by Keck (1936). St. John's (1985) lectotypification has no basis.
