Rubus feddei Léveillé & Vaniot (1910: 549) Type ( lectotype designated here ):— CHINA . Kweichou [ Guizhou ]: Lo-Fou , March 1909 , J. Cavalerie 3576 (barcode E00010594!, isolectotypes: A00040591!, K000737634!, P00755234!, P00755235!). [ Image available at https://data.rbge.org.uk/herb/E00010594] . Note :—In the protologue, Léveillé & Vaniot (1910) cited one collection: “ J. Cavalerie 3576 ” as the type, without indicating the herbaria where the specimen was deposited. In addition, no author has designated a lectotype , even inadvertently (Art. 7.11, Turland et al . 2018 ). We locate five duplicate specimens, deposited in A (barcode 00040591), E (barcode 00010594), K (barcode 000737634), and P (barcode 00755234-00755235). According to Arts. 9.6, and 40 Note 1 ( Turland et al. 2018 ), none of them can be treated as holotype , but all these collections should be regarded as syntypes ; hence, a lectotype may be designated (Art. 9.17 of ICN). According to Stafleu and Cowan (1979) , all of the Léveillé’ type specimens have been purchased by E in 1919. Thus, we designate here the sheet kept in E (barcode 00010594) as the lectotype . The selected sheet is morphologically complete and well-preserved specimen that displays all the diagnostic features in agreement with the protologue.
