C. pingpienensis var. lichuanensis W.C.Cheng , 科学 [Science] 32 (8): 246 ( Cheng 1950) nom. nud.? – C. pingpienensis var. lichuanensis W.C.Cheng , 湖北植物志 [Flora Hupehensis] 1: 95 ( Hubei Institute of Botany 1976) nom. nud. – C. pingpienensis var. hupehensis W.C.Cheng nom. nud. – Note: The name “ C. pingpienensis var. hupehensis ” only appears on the specimens PE00021911!, A00033762 and K000859922! ( China, [Hubei,] Li-Chuan, Hsio-Ho, Long-Tawn-Pu, in forest, 4100 ft, 13 Sep. 1948, W.C. Cheng and C.T. Hwa 950) and appears to be provisional. Cheng annotated the PE specimen in 1960 as “ Carpinus lichuanensis Hu ” and as “ Carpinus pingpienensis var. lichuanensis ” in 1967. Tang (1987) cited the name C. pingpienensis var. lichuanensis as a “n.n.” (nom. nud.) as does Chen (2015). The present authors did not find the protologue for validation. Synonymization follows Tang (2007) as the name is not mentioned in the Flora of China ( Li & Skvortsov 1999).

C. whilungpaensis W.C.Cheng , 科学 [Science] 32 (8): 246 ( Cheng 1950) nom. nud.? – Note: Tang (2007) cited this name as a “n.n.” [nomen nudum?] found on a specimen of W.C. Cheng and C.T. Hwa 866 (duplicate without that note: K!). The present authors did not find the protologue, and the name is not cited in the Flora of China ( Li & Skvortsov 1999).
