Yunnan : Zwischen und auf Büschen dort, 25°20’, 2120 m ., VIII. 1913 , Forrest 11996 (barcode W0131822 !, isolectotypes: A00132869!, BM000622285!, E00010597!, K000737849!). [Image available at https://w.jacq.org/ W0131822 ] . Note :—In the protologue, Handel-Mazzetti (1933) cited three collections from China in which “Zwischen und auf Büschen dort, 25°20’, 2120 m ., VIII. 1913 ( Forrest 11996 )” was designated as the type but did not indicate the herbarium. We traced 5 duplicate specimens, which have been deposited in A (barcode 00132869), BM (barcode 000622285), E (barcode 00010597), K (barcode 000737849), and W (barcode 0131822), and should be regarded as syntypes (Art. 9.6 of ICN ). According to Stafleu and Cowan (1979) , Handel-Mazzetti’s type material was mainly deposited in W and WU . According to Art. 9.12, we designate the specimen at W (barcode 0131822) as the lectotype here. The selected sheet bears the same locality and date that fully correspond with the protologue.
