L. Chang and Skvortsov described S. hsinganica in the Illustrated Manual of the Woody Plants of the Northeast Province, based on specimens collected from north-eastern Inner Mongolia (Skvortsov et al. 1955). This name was accepted by Wang et al. (1984) and Fang et al. (1999), though its relationship with S. bebbiana was not discussed. Comparison of the type specimens of both taxa revealed no significant morphological differences; instead, they consistently share key diagnostic characteristics, such as fruit stalk length and bract colour, indicating that they represent the same species of Salix . Therefore, this study concurs with Skvortsov (1968, 1999) in treating S. hsinganica as a synonym of S. bebbiana .</p><p>The protologue of S. hsinganica cited five gatherings: V.

Clearly, all these gatherings constitute syntypes. During our examination of specimens at IFP, we located six specimens belonging to four of these gatherings. These specimens are in a similar condition, all possessing mature leaves and infructescences, along with the determination labels by Y. L. Chang. Consequently, IFP 03303021 z 0001 is herein designated as the lectotype of S. hsinganica .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/4DC1F30AB45355729FACF3351BEA1606	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

However, this specimen consists of a branch with mature leaves and a pistillate branch that are clearly from different collections, as our field studies in north-eastern China confirm that S. caprea flowers before leaf expansion; at the flowering stage, leaves are either not yet emerged or have just begun to sprout, making fully mature leaves impossible. Therefore, the lectotype must be restricted to one of these branches. Since the primary basis for the publication of this taxon was the indumentum on the abaxial leaf surface, the left branch with mature leaves on IFP 03303019 za 001 is hereby designated as the lectotype for S. raddeana var. subglabra .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/A89E0C5EDE795BD5AC99F86223AE424F	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

L. Chang and Skvortsov described S. gordejevii, based on specimens collected by T. P. Gordejev near Hulun Lake, Inner Mongolia and by S. E. Liu near Zhanggutai, Liaoning (Skvortsov et al. 1955). This name is accepted in the current taxonomic system (https://powo.science.kew.org/). The protologue states that the stamens of this species are completely fused into a single unit. However, Wang et al. (1984) pointed out that the species actually possesses two distinct, free stamens. Through microscopic examination of the staminate type material collected by Gordejev near Hulun Lake, Inner Mongolia, deposited at IFP, we confirmed the presence of two separate stamens, indicating that the stamen description in the protologue is erroneous. A comparison of the type specimens of S. flavida and S. gordejevii reveals no significant morphological differences between them. Therefore, this study follows the current taxonomic view, recognising S. gordejevii and treating S. flavida as its synonym.</p><p>The protologue of S. gordejevii cited five gatherings: T. P. Gordejev s. n. (13 August 1934), T. P. Gordejev s. n. (10 August 1934), M. Noda &amp; Y. L. Chang s. n., Wang-Kuan-cheng 239 and T. N. Liou 5461, but did not designate a type (only stating that the type specimens were deposited at IFP). Clearly, all these gatherings constitute syntypes. During our examination of specimens at IFP, we located two of these gatherings: T. P. Gordejev s. n. (13 August 1934) and T. N. Liou 5461. The gathering T. N. Liou 5461 is represented by seven specimens, all consisting of branches with mature leaves. The gathering T. P. Gordejev s. n. (13 August 1934) is represented by a single specimen (IFP 03303041 x 0098), which possesses mature leaves and staminate inflorescences. IFP 03303041 x 0098 bears the complete determination label annotated with “ sp. nov. ” by Y. L. Chang; and an additional determination label indicates that C. Y. Yang had previously conducted a detailed microscopic examination of its staminate inflorescences, confirming that the stamens are two in number and completely free (the free stamens are a key diagnostic character for this species). Therefore, IFP 03303041 x 0098 is herein designated as the lectotype for S. gordejevii .</p><p>In describing S. flavida, Skvortsov et al. (1955) cited Wang-Schang 489, T. N. Liou 5463 &amp; Wang-Schang 2190, but did not designate a type (only stating that the type specimens were deposited at IFP). Clearly, Wang-Schang 489, T. N. Liou 5463 and Wang-Schang 2190 all constitute syntypes. Wang-Schang 2190 was collected in the early flowering state; its inflorescences were not fully expanded and leaves had not yet emerged; T. N. Liou 5463 is represented by only one specimen, collected at the end of the vegetative state with lax branches and leaves; Wang-Schang 489 was collected in the early vegetative stage and is represented by three specimens, amongst which IFP 03303999 z 0002 possesses well-preserved branches, leaves and a remnant staminate inflorescence. Consequently, IFP 03303999 z 0002 is herein designated as the lectotype of S. flavida .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/937D29EBA93153B3ADBBA7E5BAB689A0	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

After examining the type specimens of both S. juparica and S. tibetica, Fang (1984) concluded that their only distinguishing character was the pubescent ovary in S. juparica versus the glabrous ovary in S. tibetica, which was insufficient to treat them as two distinct species. Consequently, Fang (1984) recombined S. tibetica as S. juparica var. tibetica, a treatment followed by Fang et al. (1999). This study adopts the treatment by Fang (1984) and opposes POWO’s treatment of S. juparica var. tibetica as a separate species, S. tibetica .</p><p>In the protologue of S. tibetica, Goerz (1932) cited two gatherings, J. F. Rock 14284 and J. F. Rock 14304, but did not designate a single gathering as the type. Our investigation located multiple well-preserved specimens from these gatherings at A, P, S and US herbaria: A 00056018, A 00056019, P 00741179, P 00741180, S 13-15777, S 13-15778, US 00105250 and US 00105251. The pistillate flowers provide greater taxonomic value for delimiting this taxon compared to the staminate flowers; therefore, the lectotype should be preferably selected from female specimens. A 00056018 includes a detailed illustration of a dissected pistillate flower, which comprehensively demonstrates the gynoecial morphology of this taxon. Thus, A 00056018 is herein designated as the lectotype of S. tibetica .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/1F6B80BBEA355DA1B587DC2F4D22733C	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The protologue designated Chang Yu Liang 9 as the type and specified its deposition at NEAU. Our investigation located eight specimens of Chang Yu Liang 9 at NEAU. These eight syntypes are in a comparable state of preservation. Amongst them, only NEAU 033003040000003 and NEAU 0009999 bear a handwritten determination label annotated with “ Typus ” by Y. L. Chang. However, the pistillate inflorescences on NEAU 033003040000003 are in a superior state of preservation. Furthermore, NEAU 033003040000003 consists of a branch with leaves and a pistillate flower branch. This species flowers before leaf expansion and leaves only begin to mature after the fruiting period has concluded. Based on our field observations of populations near Dailing (the type locality), the flowering period occurs from May to June. Therefore, it is impossible to observe fully mature leaves in a population collected on 6 May. Additionally, the leaves on this specimen are thick in texture and several show clear signs of damage, which typically occurs in the later vegetative stage. This indicates that the leafy branch and the pistillate flower branch on this specimen were collected at different times and belong to two separate gatherings. Since the protologue specifies the type collection date as the flowering period (6 May 1953), the left pistillate branch on specimen NEAU 033003040000003 is hereby designated as the lectotype of S. skvortsovii .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/F37FF579CEBC55108DF3BE8AF2D25BC3	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Wang et al. (1984), Fang et al. (1999) and Ohashi (2001) recognised this species, while Skvortsov (1968, 1999) treated it as a synonym of S. babylonica . Based on our research, S. matsudana and S. babylonica are morphologically very similar, with a significant number of intermediate forms between them. The presence or absence of a dorsal nectary in pistillate flowers and whether the branches are distinctly pendulous are insufficient to reliably distinguish these intermediate individuals. However, these two characters can clearly differentiate typical individuals. Our field investigations show that individuals in their natural state generally have non-pendulous branches and pistillate flowers that mostly possess a dorsal nectary, aligning more closely with S. matsudana . In contrast, the widely cultivated individuals with distinctly pendulous branches and pistillate flowers usually lacking a dorsal nectary match S. babylonica . Accordingly, we hypothesise that S. babylonica is actually an ancient cultivar derived from S. matsudana and retain both names as holding certain taxonomic value. In light of this ongoing debate, this study adopts the viewpoint of Wang et al. (1984) and others, accepting S. matsudana . POWO treats S. matsudana, Salix matsudana var. anshanensis and S. pseudomatsudana as synonyms of S. babylonica . Based on comparative studies of their protologues and type specimens, Salix matsudana var. anshanensis and S. pseudomatsudana are consistent with the overall morphological characteristics of S. matsudana . Since this study recognises S. matsudana, we here treat Salix matsudana var. anshanensis and S. pseudomatsudana as synonyms of S. matsudana .</p><p>The protologue of Salix matsudana var. anshanensis designated Wang Chan, Fang Cheng-fu, Qin Zhong-shi 2149 (♂) as the type and specified that the type specimen was deposited at IFP. Our investigation located two specimens matching this designation: IFP 03303009 f 0007 and IFP 03303009 f 0006. Both specimens bear complete identification labels by C. F. Fang (IFP 03303009 f 0007 has a handwritten label and IFP 03303009 f 0006 has a printed label), but neither is explicitly marked as the type. Therefore, based on the available information, we cannot identify either specimen as the holotype; they effectively constitute syntypes. Since Yan et al. (1981) specified male material as the type, the lectotype should be selected from staminate branches. IFP 03303009 f 0006 contains two well-preserved staminate branches, whereas the staminate branches on IFP 03303009 f 0007 are poorly preserved. Consequently, IFP 03303009 f 0006 is herein designated as the lectotype of Salix matsudana var. anshanensis .</p><p>The protologue of S. pseudomatsudana cited two gatherings: B. V. Skvortsov 1089 and B. V. Skvortsov 1090, but did not designate a type (only stating that the type specimens were deposited at IFP). Our investigation located five specimens matching the designation: IFP 03303999 z 0005, IFP 03303009 a 0041, IFP 03303009 a 0042, IFP 03303009 a 0043 and IFP 03303009 a 0040, all of which constitute syntypes. Amongst these, only IFP 03303999 z 0005 possesses both infructescences and well-developed leaves and bears a handwritten determination label annotated with “ sp. nov. ” by Skvortsov. Consequently, IFP 03303999 z 0005 is hereby designated as the lectotype of S. pseudomatsudana .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/7AD063800CE75584950DF16EADCB0597	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

We located 28 specimens at IFP matching this designation, which constitute syntypes. The species was primarily described, based on the morphology of pistillate flowers; therefore, the lectotype is to be preferably selected from the female syntypes (Wang-Wei &amp; Wang-Schang 178 and Wang-Wei &amp; Wang-Schang 2234). IFP 03303031 z 0002 is in excellent condition, possessing numerous fully developed pistillate inflorescences and young leaves and bears a handwritten determination label by Skvortsov.

The protologue states that this species is similar to S. myrtillacea, differing in its smaller leaves that are often entire-margined and its shorter styles, approximately one-third the length of the ovary. A comparison of the type specimens reveals that leaf length in S. neomyrtillacea ranges from 1.8–3 (3.5) cm, while that of S. myrtillacea is within 1.5–3 cm, indicating no significant difference in leaf size. Based on our field surveys of over ten populations in north-eastern Qinghai, central and southern Gansu and northern Sichuan, as well as examination of numerous herbarium specimens, S. myrtillacea exhibits considerable intraspecific variation. This variation includes plant height ranging from 0.5 to 5 m, leaf margins entire or distinctly glandular-serrate, mature leaves glabrous to distinctly pubescent and style length varying markedly, typically 0.3–0.8 mm, shorter than the ovary. Clearly, the morphological differences cited in the protologue do not provide reliable grounds for distinguishing the two taxa. Therefore, S. neomyrtillacea is treated here as a synonym of S. myrtillacea, a treatment also supported by He (2015).</p><p>The protologue of Salix neomyrtillacea designated Z. D. Wei 005 as the type and stated that the type specimen was deposited at the NWBI (now HNWP). Our investigation located two specimens matching the designation: HNWP 120519 and HNWP 120518 (♀ only). As neither specimen bears a type designation label from Ch. Y. Yang or Z. D. Wei, both constitute syntypes. HNWP 120518 contains a leafy branch (belonging to Z. D.

Therefore, HNWP 120519 is herein designated as the lectotype of S. neomyrtillacea .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/C3738A95CACA586F9F92016360658DBB	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Therefore, we agree with the treatment by Skvortsov (1968, 1999) and Fang et al. (1999) in considering S. tschanbaischanica as a synonym of S. nummularia .</p><p>The protologue of S. tschanbaischanica cited two gatherings, T. N. Liou 1560 and S. G. Wang 452, but did not designate a type (only specified that the type specimen was deposited at IFP). Our investigation located three specimens matching this designation: IFP 03303002 a 0002, IFP 03303002 a 0001 and IFP 03303002 x 0008, all constituting syntypes. Amongst these, IFP 03303002 a 0002 is in the best state of preservation and bears a handwritten determination label annotated with “ sp. nov. ” by Y. L. Chou. Therefore, IFP 03303002 a 0002 is herein designated as the lectotype of S. tschanbaischanica .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/6456BB9415585D3D93422A57E078788F	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Yang described S. psammophila, based on specimens collected from Ningxia, Inner Mongolia and Shaanxi (Yang 1980). He designated “ S. K. Feng 2 ” from Yanchi County, Ningxia, as the type, stating it was deposited in the Herbarium of the Ningxia Institute of Agriculture. During a field investigation in 2023, the author Zhenfeng Zhan learned from Mr. Zhu Qiang of the Ningxia Botanical Garden that the Herbarium of the Ningxia Institute of Agriculture has undergone multiple institutional reorganisations and most specimens formerly stored there, including the type of S. psammophila, have been lost; only a small number of specimens remain at the Ningxia Botanical Garden. The author thoroughly examined these remaining specimens and confirmed that the type of S. psammophila is not amongst them. After extensive searching, no duplicate specimens of “ S. K. Feng 2 ” were found in any other herbarium in China. The collection information for S. K. Feng 4 is identical to that of S. K. Feng 2; therefore, S. K. Feng 4 should be considered as isotype. The author searched for S. K. Feng 4 through CVH (https://www.cvh.ac.cn/index.php), but found no qualified specimens and, during the study at relevant herbaria, no qualified specimens were discovered either. However, while searching for specimens of S. psammophila through CVH, we found a specimen, PE 00023878, bearing the collection number S. K. Feng 3, with a collection locality consistent with that of S. K. Feng 2. This specimen has three branches collected at different times (according to the information on the label): the female branch on the left was collected on 5 April 1975; the fruiting branch on the left was collected on 21 May 1975, exactly the same collection date as S. K. Feng 2; and the mature leafy branch on the right was collected on 22 September 1975. Furthermore, this specimen bears a complete identification label handwritten by C. Y. Yang, marked as “ Holotype ”. Clearly, the fruiting branch on the left of PE 00023878, sharing the same collection locality and date as the holotype, actually constitutes a duplicate of the holotype, i. e. an isotype, even though it did not appear in the protologue of S. psammophila (Art. 9.5, Turland et al. (2025)). When designating the lectotype, it takes precedence over other paratypes (Art. 9.12, Turland et al. (2025)). Finally, we examined this fruiting branch: the second-year branch is yellowish-brown, with linear leaves and a very short fruiting peduncle; these morphological features are entirely consistent with the original description and the taxonomic concept of S. psammophila . In conclusion, we designate the fruiting branch on the left of PE 00023878 as the lectotype of S. psammophila .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/F81EECF592375EF0B55E7FD69A0853AB	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
