Investigatio et Studium Naturae 10: 41 (1990) . — Type: China, Sichuan, Yaan, Lushan Xian, Shuangshixiang , 700 m, 3.X.1987, J. L. Liu & Z. H. Tang 180 (holo-, XIAS).

REMARKS

Wu (1991) considered that the name is synonymous with M. balbisiana . Most recently, Liu et al. (2002) studied herbarium material of M. luteola and now consider it to be identical with M. basjoo . They consider Wu’s analysis to be flawed. According to the Flora of China ( Wu & Kress 2000), M. luteola is synonymous to M. balbisiana . The status of the name M. luteola needs to be re-evaluated.
