Note:— Rubus setchuenensis was described by Bureau and Franchet (1891), who provided only the locality information: Chine (China): “Province du Se-tchuen [Sichuan], au Sud de Ta-tsien-lou”, without collector and number, as the type in the protologue. It’s well known that Franchet worked at P (Stafleu and Cowan 1976). We locate two original collections, with the same locality information: one of them “ J. Cavalerie 3945 ”, deposited in P (barcode 00755443 & 00755444), and other specimen of “ P.G. Bonvalot s.n. ”, deposted in P (barcode 00755367 and barcode 00755366). According to Arts. 9.4 and 9.6 (Turland et al. 2018), all these collections should be regarded as syntypes; hence, a lectotype may be designated (Art. 9.17). Among the availble collections, the one sheet in P (barcode 00755367), is a perfect match to the description given in the protologue, thus, this blooming specimen selected here as the lectotype.
