LECTOTYPE (here designated). — China. Se-tchuen (Sichuan) occidentalis, c. Ta-tsien-lou, 1893, J.A. Soulié 620 (lecto-, P[P00602826]!; isolecto-, G[G00301551]!, K [ K000035714 ]!, P[P00602827, P00602828]!).

REMARKS

In the protologue, Franchet (1896b) mentioned the following locality information: “Se-tchuen (Sichuan) occidentalis, circa Ta-tsien-lou, (J.A. Soulié 620) as the type, without indicating the herbaria where the specimen was deposited. Lipschitz (1966) cited TYPUS: Se-tchuen (Sichuan) occidentalis, circa Ta-tsien-lou “ J.A. Soulié 620 ” in P [first-step], which is considered an inadvertent lectotyification according to Art. 7.11 of ICN ( Turland et al. 2018). Three original materials were traced in P. According to ICN, Arts 9.6, and 40 Note 1 ( Turland et al. 2018), none of them can be treated as holotype, but should be regarded as syntypes. After careful examination of all the sheets deposited in P and labels with Red tag “TYPE”, it is necessary to select one of them as the lectotype (ICN; Art. 9.17 Turland et al. 2018). We designate here the blooming specimen “ J.A. Soulié 620 ” in P (P00602826) as the lectotype [second-step]. The selected sheet is morphologically complete and well-preserved specimen that displays all the morphological diagnostic traits in agreement with the protologue.
