title: TABLE 4 in A review of the infrageneric classifications proposed for Kalanchoe (Crassulaceae subfam. Kalanchooideae) from the earliest times up to 2000

description: TABLE 4. Infrageneric classification, as unnamed “groupes”, of Kalanchoe according to Hamet (1907a: 877–879, 1908a, b, 1910a, b). The species-rank nomenclature that Hamet used in these publications is deliberately retained. For each group all the species names included by Hamet are listed. “ K.” = Kalanchoe.

1 Kalanchoe porphyrocalyx, K. schizophylla, and K. sulphurea were included in Group 1, each with a question mark, as they were treated as “Species non satis notae”; see Hamet (1907a: 877) and Hamet (1908a: 41–42).
2 Kalanchoe trichantha (Group 6) is widely regarded as a synonym of K. synsepala, in turn the only species included in Group 4 (Hamet 1912c).
3 Kalanchoe abrupta is widely regarded as a synonym of K. robusta Balfour filius (1882: 512). Kalanchoe abrupta was accepted by Hamet (1907a: 888), but he treated K. robusta as a little known species [“Species non satis notae”]. Still, under K. abrupta, Hamet (1907a: 888) stated: “Observation: Par une erreur de typographie la diagnose du K. abrupta est donnée dans le Botany of Socotra sous le nom de K. robusta, et vice-versa.” [English: “Observation: In the Botany of Socotra, through a typographical error, the diagnosis of K. abrupta is given under the name of K. robusta, and vice versa”. The paper entitled “ Botany of Socotra ” (Balfour 1888) was published six years after Balfour (1882) appeared in print.
4 Kalanchoe farinacea is endemic to Socotra only. The species endemic to Angola with which it was confused by Hamet (1907a, 1908a) is K. scapigera Welwitsch (1871d: 397) (see Figueiredo & Smith 2020: 94 and Smith & Figueiredo 2020a).
5 Kalanchoe thyrsiflora, the only other Kalanchoe species with soup plate-sized leaves and dense-flowered, somewhat club-shaped inflorescences known at the time, and a close relative of K. luciae (Smith & Figueiredo 2018c, Smith 2020d), was included in Group 13 by Raymond-Hamet. However, Berger (1930: 404, 407) transferred K. thyrsiflora to his [Berger’s] unranked group “§ 8. Transvaalenses”. Kalanchoe luciae was originally included as the only species in the numbered but unnamed “Groupe 14” of Hamet (1908b: 254, 256–257). This group was previously treated as K. subg. Fernandesiae (Smith 2020d) or, most recently, as K. sect. Raveta Smith (2022a: 210), depending on which taxonomic rank is preferred.
