Salix rhododendroides C. Wang & C.Y. Yu View in CoL in Anonymous (1974: 598)
Type:— CHINA. Shaanxi: Taibai Mountain , 2840 m, 9 July 1957, K. J. Fu 9509 (lectotype, designated here: WUK 171975 About WUK !; isolectotype WUK 90140 About WUK !, digital image examined; [♀]).—For image of lectotype, see Fig. 1A View FIGURE 1 .
= S. wangiana K.S. Hao ex C.F. Fang & A.K. Skvortsov (1998: 469) , syn. nov. — S. wangiana K.S. Hao (1936: 81) , nom. inval. Type:— CHINA. Shaanxi: Taibai Mountain, 2700 m, 4 August 1933, T. P. Wang 1769 (holotype PE [barcode] 00766307!; isotypes IBSC [barcode] 0349187!, WUK 00438 About WUK ! [♀]).—For image of holotype, see Fig. 1B View FIGURE 1 .
Salix wangiana K.S. Hao was not validly published, with an English description instead of the Latin description or diagnosis, which was obligatory between 1 January 1935 and 31 December 2011, according to Art. 39.1 of the ICN (Melbourne Code, McNeill et al. 2012). It was subsequently validated by Fang & Skvortsov (1998), who referenced Hao’s protologue and provided a Latin description.
Fang & Skvortsov (1998) stated that the holotype of Salix wangiana is located in Paris ( P). However, the type information in Hao’s (1936) protologue is “ T. P. Wang 1769 (type in Herb. Peiping)”. “Herb. Peiping” is the predecessor of PE, and a duplicate of T. P. Wang 1769 is found there ( PE [barcode] 00766307) with a written label in Hao’s hand, which reads “ Salix wangiana Hao n. sp. ”. In addition, T. P. Wang 1769 was not located at P (according to the digital herbarium database of P, https://science.mnhn.fr/institution/mnhn/collection/p/item/search/form [accessed 6 November 2015]). Therefore, we deduce that Fang & Skvortsov’s reference to “ P ” may be a printing error, which should be corrected to PE, and the sheet of T. P. Wang 1769 at PE should be Fang & Skvortsov’s holotype.
Salix rhododendroides was described by Wang & Yu in 1974, who cited K. J. Fu 9509 as the type but did not state where the type specimens were conserved. Two duplicates of K. J. Fu 9509 were found in WUK ( WUK 171975 About WUK & 90140) ; WUK 171975 About WUK with a written label in Yu’s hand on 10 February 1966 was annotated as “ Salix rhododendroides Wang et Yu sp. nov. ”, which is designated here as the lectotype under Art. 9.11 of the ICN .
Chou et al. (1984) accepted “ Salix wangiana K.S. Hao ”, and reduced S. rhododendroides to a synonym, neglecting that S. wangiana had not been validly published at that time. In addition, this treatment was followed by that of Fang et al. (1999), who cited S. rhododendroides as a synonym of S. wangiana K.S. Hao ex C.F. Fang & A.K. Skvortsov in Flora of China. However, the name S. rhododendroides is the earlier name compared to S. wangiana . After examining the type specimens of S. rhododendroides and S. wangiana , we could not find relevant differences between these, and we followed Chou et al. (1984) in considering both names as conspecific. Therefore, the correct name of this species is S. rhododendroides , and S. wangiana is its synonym.
