Lipochaeta heterophylla A. Gray var. malvacea O. Deg. & Sherff, in Sherff, Bot. Gaz. (Crawfordsville) 95: 96. 1933.
Type information:
Holotype [F]. O. Degener 4199. 5 April 1928. Moloka`i: [western Moloka`i], near Kolo, on arid, rocky plain. Isotype(s) [B, BISH!, BM, CAS, F! [3], G [2], GB, GH, K, MASS!, MO! [2], NY [mfc!], UC, US!, W].

Note: Sherff cited "two type sheets" and we have taken the one annotated by Sherff as "1st type sheet" to be the holotype. Gardner's lectotypification (1979) was unnecessary. Degener wrote on the sheet at BISH (not cited by Sherff in the protologue): "Type (1st type sheet."
