Abstract

It is shown that Nathaniel Wallich (1786–1854) did not validly publish any names in Kalanchoe (Crassulaceae subfam. Kalanchooideae), neither in his “Plantae asiaticæ rariores […] (1831)” nor in his “[A] Numerical List […] (1832)”, which was published in parts from 1828 and 1849. In Pl. Asiat. Rar. (Wallich) of 1831 only one name, K. teretifolia, attributable to Adrian Hardy Haworth (1768–1833), was validly published in Kalanchoe.
