Stellaria ebracteata Kom., Trudy Imp. S.-Peterburgsk. Bot. Sada. 18: 441 (1901)

Lectotype

(designated here):-North Korea, Ad trajectum Abuzsa-kogar divortium aquarum inter flumina Tumin et Jalu, June 19, 1897, Komarov s.n. (LE01001957 digital image!, Figure 3 ; Isolectotype: North Korea, Trajectum Czaur-ien in valle fluvii Cham-muri, Komarov s.n., LE barcode LE01001956 digital image!).

Note.

Komarov described S. ebracteate and cited several specimens " Komarov s.n., 18-27/VI 1894; Komarov s.n., 24/V 1897; Komarov s.n., 12/VI 1897; Komarov s.n., 19/VI 1897" collected by himself, but never designated any one of them as holotype in the protologue. According to Stafleu and Cowan (1979), Komarov’s type specimens were deposited in LE. Two specimens traced in LE (LE01001957 digital image! and LE01001956 digital image!), match " Komarov s.n., 12/VI 1897, Komarov s.n., 19/VI 1897" in the protologue, and should be considered as syntypes following Arts. 9.6 and 40 Note 1 of the ICN ( Turland et al. 2018). Unfortunately, due to the possible loss or destruction of specimens, the specimens " Komarov s.n., 18-27/VI 1894" couldn’t be found. Two specimens traced in LE have Komarov’s script " Stellaria ebracteate Kom.", the description of collecting location, and the label “SYNTYPUS”. Since LE01001957 is morphologically complete with the well presence of flower, inflorescence, and root, LE01001957 is designated here as the lectotype following Art. 9.3 and 9.4 of the ICN ( Turland et al. 2018).
