REMARKS

In the protologue, Franchet (1894) provided only the locality information: “Se-tchuen oriental, montagnes de Han-Ky-sé, près de Tchen-kéou, alt. 2000 m ”. Lipschitz (1966) selected the specimen “ P.G. Farges 1140 ” kept in P as the type [firststep]. We located two duplicate specimens of “ P.G. Farges 1140 ”, in P, from which a lectotype may be chosen. We here designate one of the specimen “ P.G. Farges 1140 ” in P (P00602914) as the lectotype [second-step] (Art. 9.17 of ICN (Turland et al. 2018).
