REMARKS

In the protologue, Franchet (1894) mentioned the locality information: “Se-tchuen (Sichuan) oriental, montagnes de Tchen-kéou (P.G. Farges s.n.)”. When describing S. sutchuenensis Franch. Lipschitz (1966) cited the specimen “ P.G. Farges s.n. ” kept in P as the type [first-step]. We located two duplicate specimens of “ P.G. Farges s.n. ”, in P, and the name S. sutchuenensis needs lectotypification, according to Art. 9.17 of ICN ( Turland et al. 2018). Among these duplicate sheets, the one sheet “ P.G. Farges s.n. ” in P (P00602916) is a perfect match to the description given in the protologue, thus, this blooming specimen selected here as the lectotype.
