Centr. Univ. Nanking” (now at N) as types and they are syntypes under Art. 9.6. No syntype was able to be traced by the authors. Eleven isosyntypes, six duplicates of Chien 737 and six duplicates of Ching 3006 were traced. Among of them, the duplicates NAU00017784 and PE00883540 bear the identification label of Chien & Cheng, while PE00024565 bears printed label with the word “type”. Lin et al. (2008b) chose PE00024565 from isosyntypes as the lectotype. This is allowed under Art. 9.12.
