Wallich list no. 2800a (syn-: BM000580527!, E00301177!, E00301178!, K001117115!, K000859917!, K000859918!, M!); India, Sirmore [Sirmaur], W.A. Webb s.n. (syn-: not localized). – Note: it is accepted in Flora of China ( Li & Skvortsov 1999) with C. viminea var. chiukiangensis as a distinct variety. The Kew specimen K000859918 bears a note “Napalia Wallich 1830” but Wallich was in Nepal in 1821 (Wallich list no. 2800a). Most likely, the number has to be regarded as the year when the specimen was received at Kew.
