Note: With the exception of the Dombey collection (see following forma) the remaining collections are considered syntypes. According to Wetter & Zanoni (1985: 330) there are two sheets of the Kuntze collection in NY, cited as Argentina. Dique bei C rdoba und westliche Pampas, 34, Dec 1891, Kuntze s.n. (2 sheets).

Encelia hirsuta Kuntze f. radiata Kuntze, Revis. Gen. Pl. 3(3): 145 (1898). Types: ... auch aus Peru (Dombey) eine seltenere Form mit wenigen Strahlblten = f. radiata, ... Holotype: B; isotypes: G-DC, MPU, P, US (fragment of P material, but s.n.). Note: Robinson (2006: 105) noted this collection as Dombey 12, the type of de Candolleá¸.í²'s name, yet apparently cited differing isotypes G-DC, GH, MO, NY, TEX, P, frag. US., having previously noted photographs of the holotype in CM, GH, TEX, and of the isotype in GH, MO, NY, TEX.

Note: According to Spooner (1990: 73) the Bolivian material may well represent a new taxon but since material was limited he preferred to recognize it as the variety of S. foetida, although differing in some characters. The following two collections were cited by Spooner: Santa Cruz: between Charagua & Izozog, Crdenas 2666 (US).Tarija: Fort n Crevaux, Fries 1645 (US).
