Note:— Cardot (1914) provided the following locality information: “Su-Tchuen Oriental: Bord des ravins a Mou-Koua-Keou, pres de Tchen-keou-tin, alt. 1000 m, 1898 (Farges 1456)” and “Kouy-Tchéou: Pin-fa (Cavalerie 1907)” but did not select the holotype specimen.All these collections should be regarded as syntypes (ICN, Art. 9.6).According to Stafleu and Mennega (1995), Cardot’ type materials were deposited at P. We traced six duplicate specimens, one of them “ Cavalerie 1907 ” deposited in P (barcode 00755349) and six specimen of “ Farges 1456 ” deposited in P (barcode 00755350, 00755351, 00755352, 00755353, 00755354, 00755355).All the specimens of“ Cavalerie 1907 ” & “ Farges 1456 ” in P bear the information “ Syntype Rubus rufa var. palmatifidus Cardot ”, and it is necessary to select one of them as the lectotype (Art. 9.12 of ICN). We designate the sheet “ Farge 1456 ” in P (barcode 00755350) as the lectotype since it is morphological complete with the presence of stem, leaves, and flower that fully correspond with the protologue.
