Note.

Franch described S. yunnanensis based on two specimens " Delav. Caryoph. n. 1, 4. jul. 1882; Delav. Caryoph. n. 4, 1. sept. 1882" collected by Delavay from Yunnan, China, without designating any one of them as holotype in the protologue. According to Stafleu and Cowan (1976), Delavay’s specimens were deposited in K, P and PC. Eight original materials were found in P (P01902913-P01902919 digital images!) and K (K000723671 digital image!), which all have Delavay’s annotation and are well preserved. The specimens of P all bear the information "Syntype Stellaria yunnanensis Franch.". P01902917 well presents inflorescence and lower part of the plant and is in line with the protologue. So P01902917 is designated here as the lectotype according to Art. 9.3 and 9.4 of the ICN ( Turland et al. 2018).
