When treating this taxon as variety, however, again the name “ ovalifolia ” has priority, which Li apparently overlooked. The lectotype material was mentioned in the appendix of the protologue, and is thus also original material. It bears an annotation of Winkler, and duplicates are distributed in several herbaria, so it seems a good choice for a lectotypification. This taxon is recognized both in the Flora of China ( Li & Skvortsov 1999 ) and in the Flora Sichuanica (Editorial Board of the Flora Sichuanica 2012: 35 ).
