Pei 7092 (lectotype designated here, NAS00070923; isolectotypes NAS00070925, PE00029013). Remaining syntypes: CHINA. Sichuan [Sikang]: Ya-an, near Ma Liu Chang [Ma-kiou-Chang], 6 August 1939, Y. C. Yang 3423 (NAS00070924, PE00935898). Paratypes in CQNM: CHINA. Sichuan: Emei Shan, elev. ca. 400 m, 3 April 1940, W. P. Fang 13984 (CQNM0015775, IBK00009356, KUN0172559, PE00618771, SZ00163694) & W.

= Machilus nanmu (Oliver 1880: 10) Hemsl. in Forbes & Hemsley (1891: 376).

Note: —In the protologue, Yang (1945) designated C. Pei 7092 and Y. C. Yang 3423 as flowering and fruiting types, respectively, and both are syntypes according to Art. 9.6 (Turland et al. 2018). Three duplicates (NAS00070923, NAS00070925, PE00029013) of C. Pei 7092 and two duplicates (NAS00070924, PE 00935898) were traced. Among of them, two duplicates (NAS00070923,NAS00070924) bear the annotation of Yang’s handwritten. Here, the duplicate NAS00070923 is here chosen as the lectotype because of better condition. Among of the paratypes cited by Yang, the two gatherings W. P. Fang 19834 & 13985 collected from Mt. Emei are traced, and Fang 13985 was erroneously cited as ‘19985’ in the protologue by Yang (1945).
