Celmisia holosericea Hooker 1844

Description
26. Celmisia holosericea (G.Forst.) Hooker (1844: 36).
Basionym:— Aster holosericeus Forster (1786: 56).
Type:— NEW ZEALAND. In Nova Zelandia, ad rupes muscosas in Dusky Bay (lectotype P 711339 [image!] designated here).
Notes:— G. Forster only mentioned “Noua Zeelandia”. However, Hooker (1844) referred to Dusky Sound (as Dusky Bay) as the type locality. Dusky Sound (Fiordland) was the first stop in New Zealand of Captain J. Cook’s second voyage, where the Forsters (father and son) were between March and May 1773, moving afterward to the north of the South Island (Dawson 1998) where C. holosericea does not grow. There are several syntypes in different herbaria in Europe (Nicolson & Fosberg 2004); nevertheless, only some of them (e.g., K 882152, B W 15843 -01 0, P 711339) are complete enough to have been used for the original description which refers to the leaf morphology and peduncle. From these syntypes, I have selected P 711339 as the lectotype, which comprises three capitula with peduncles and a leaf. Besides, it indicates the locality mentioned above. This specimen is probably the one upon which Allan (1961: 639) stated, “Type: P?”.
Nicolson & Fosberg (2004) listed several syntypes, including “Р: Nouvelle Zeelande. Forster 158; Aster holosericeus; 3 stems with broken leaves, large capitula”. However, staff at P clarified that such a specimen is not held at P.
Some of the syntypes cited by Nicolson & Fosberg (2004) could be isolectotypes; however, it is impossible to know with certainty that those specimens come from the same gathering since the Forsters were at Dusky Sound for about six weeks, and they could have made several collections (e.g., Nicolson & Fosberg (2004) listed three of Forster’s collection numbers).
