≡ Litsea moupinensis var. szechuanica (C.K.Allen) Yen C.Yang & P.H.Huang in Yang et al. (1978: 47).

Note: —When describing Litsea szechuanica, Allen (1941) cited 14 gatherings collected from Shaanxi, Sichuan and Yunnan as paratypes. When reducing it to a variety of L. moupinensis, Yang & al. (1978) excluded the gathering G. Fenzel 507 from Shaanxi on which they described the new species Litsea tsinlingensis Yen C.Yang & P.H.Huang in Yang et al. (1978: 46), and noted that H. T. Tsai 55967 from Yunnan was misidentified for Lindera communis Hemsl. in Forbes & Hemsley (1891: 387). Yang et al. (1978) also stated that the gathering T. T. Yü 705 from Emei Shan is Litsea veitchiana Gamble in Sargent (1914: 76), and F. T. Wang 23151 is L. moupinensis Lecomte (1913: 84) .
