The text from ECKLON &amp; ZEYHER (1837: 305) was cut out and pasted onto the specimen&amp; in lieu of a traditional herbarium label. The specimen consists of only two flowers (mounted erectly — at anthesis the flowers of the species are pendent) and a stem or peduncle fragment&amp; which prompted ECKLON &amp; ZEYHER (1837: 305) to additionally refer to the material as “Exemplum [...] mutilum”. The full text states: “1955. KALANCHOE delagoensis .—Exemplum unicum et mutilum Cel. Commodore Owen ad &amp;&amp;Delagoabay” legit et nobiscum communicavit. Flor. Jun. — Flores saturate rosei.”</p><p>This specimen could have been collected by either Capt. William Fitz William Owen (1774–1857) or by John Forbes (1798–1823)&amp; the first botanist on the British expedition that&amp; from 1822 to 1826&amp; inter alia surveyed&amp; mapped&amp; and charted parts of the southern and eastern coasts of Africa (FIGUEIREDO &amp; SMITH &amp; 2022: 186&amp; 2024a: 167–169). The specimen deposited in S (S-G-10717)&amp; is the holotype lacking collector name&amp; date and locality .</p><p>The specimen could have originated from Madagascar &amp; where Kalanchoe delagoensis occurs naturally&amp; or it could have been collected in Delagoa Bay&amp; i.e.&amp; the area around presentday Maputo [Bay] in southern Mozambique &amp; where it could already have become established.</p><p>the leaf apices; B.
