Wikstroemia pilosa W.C.Cheng (1932: 140) .

Type:— CHINA. Zhejiang [Chekiang]: Zhuji, Wai Chen [Hweichen] Village , 12 July 1932, W. C. Cheng 2479 ( IBSC0205092 , lectotype designated by Tsai 1956; isolectotypes CQNM0015773 , NAS00071897 , NAS00071898 , PE00025556 , PE00025557 , PE00025558 , PE00025559 ).

Note —Although only one gathering was cited in the protologue (Cheng 1932), no herbarium was specified. Eight duplicates were traced and all of them are syntypes under Art. 9.6, but none of them have the accompanying illustration (fig. 6) in the protologue. Tsai (1956) inadvertently designated the sheets at IBSC as type [“ 模式标本 ”], although this specimen is in bad condition with a fragment of branch and an lithographic illustration of the duplicate PE00025559. The usage of the type is a correctable error under Art. 9.10 ( Turland et al. 2018).
