Bulletin of Botanical Research. Harbin 10 (1): 35 (Liu & Zhang 1990). – Type: China, Hunan, Shauangzh Xian Badagungshan Yochang, 1450 m a.s.l., Aug. 1988, C.M. Zhang [IĮṆ] 88 08185 (“ typus in Herb. Inst. Sylv. Hunan Conservatur”). – Note: Corylus wulingensis was recognized by the World Checklist and Bibliography of Fagales (Govaerts & Frodin 1998), but not mentioned in the Flora of China (Li & Skvortsov 1999). However, according to the protologue and the accompanying figure, this taxon is morphologically intermediate between C. yunnanensis and the type of C. heterophylla var. crista-galli (listed here as a synonym of C. heterophylla var. sutchuensis). It shares the dense indumentum with the former, and the occurrence of glandular trichomes and the short involucre with the latter taxon.
