LECTOTYPE (here designated). — China. Su-tchuen (Sichuan) oriental, district de Tchen-Kéou-Tin, P.G. Farges s.n. (lecto-, P[P00602848]!; isolecto-, P[P00602849]!).

REMARKS

In the protologue, Franchet (1894) cited one collection: “Su-tchuen (Sichuan) oriental, district de Tchen-KéouTin, P.G. Farges s.n. ” as the type, without indicating the herbaria where the specimen was deposited. We located two duplicate sheets, deposited in P. from which a lectotype may be designated (Art. 9.17 of ICN). Thus, we designate here the sheet kept in P (P00602848) as the lectotype, since the sheet is a complete and well-preserved specimen that displays all the morphological diagnostic features in agreement with the protologue .
