Cryptanthus discolor Otto & A.Dietr.
Status: Synonym
Publ: Allg. Gartenz. 4: 299 (1836)
Taxonomic Notes:
- One of the three species included in the original publication of the genus, has a brief diagnostic description: "foliis eiongato-ianceolatis acuminatis undulatis serratis supra nudis viridibus subtus lepidotis glaucis" that easily fits almost all species in subgenus Cryptanthus. Since there is no more information than the above provided, the name is excluded from the treatment. —See Ramirez 1996 p. 232
