Type Information
Lipochaeta heterophylla A. Gray , Proc. Amer. Acad. Arts 5: 130 1861.
Maui, West Maui. 1840. U. S. Expl. Exped. s.n..
Lectotype [US]. Isolectotype(s) [GH]. Lectotypified in Sherff. Bernice P. Bishop Mus. Bull. 135: 66. 1935.
Note: Both the lectotype and the isolectotype are mixed collections with L. rockii Sherff var. dissecta Sherff. The other material included in L. heterophylla by Gray was used as the type for L. rockii Sherff var. dissecta Sherff (US). Gardner (1979) incorrectly cites a Hillebrand specimen as the type for this name.

Lipochaeta heterophylla A. Gray var. malvacea O. Deg. & Sherff, in Sherff, Bot. Gaz. (Crawfordsville) 95: 96 1933.
Moloka`i, [western Moloka`i], near Kolo, on arid, rocky plain. 5 April 1928. Degener 4199.
Holotype [F]. 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."
