"Habitat in China, Japonia." RCN: 7441.

Original material: Herb. Linn. No. 1182.6 (LINN); [icon] in Plukenet, Amalth. Bot.: 101, t. 408, f. 1. 1705; [icon] in Kaempfer, Amoen. Exot. Fasc.: 781, 782. 1712.

Note: Koyama (in Leroy, Fl. Cambodge Laos Viêt-Nam 20: 78. 1983) treated both 1182.6 and 1182.7 (LINN) as the type, but as they are evidently not part of a single gathering, Art. 9.15 does not apply.
