Type.

China. Guangxi: Lo-cheng (= Luocheng), W. Chen 84410 (holotype: IBSC; isotypes: PE [barcode 00004611 !, 01790013 !]) . Note A.

Distribution.

China (Guangxi).

Note A.

In the protologue, Yu and Kuan (1963) designated the type specimen as being deposited in the herbarium “ HC ”, which they referenced as “ Herb. Inst. Austro-Sin. Acad. Sin. Canton ”. The correct standard name for this institute is the South China Botanical Garden ( IBSC). However, we could not locate any specimens from this collection in IBSC. Instead, we found two isotype sheets at the PE herbarium.
