Note:—In the protologue, Handel-Mazzetti (1933) cited three collections from China in which “Zwischen und auf Büschen dort, 25°20’, 2120 m., VIII. 1913 (Forrest 11996)” was designated as the type but did not indicate the herbarium. We traced 5 duplicate specimens, which have been deposited in A (barcode 00132869), BM (barcode 000622285), E (barcode 00010597), K (barcode 000737849), and W (barcode 0131822), and should be regarded as syntypes (Art. 9.6 of ICN). According to Stafleu and Cowan (1979), Handel-Mazzetti’s type material was mainly deposited in W and WU. According to Art. 9.12, we designate the specimen at W (barcode 0131822) as the lectotype here. The selected sheet bears the same locality and date that fully correspond with the protologue.
