( Fig. 2 ) Journal de Botanique (Morot) 2: 359 ( Franchet 1888 ) . LECTOTYPE (here designated). — China . Yunnan , in umbrosis montis Che-tcho-tze, supra Tapin-tze , alt. 2000 m , 15.X.1886 , J.M. Delavay 2510 (lecto-, P[P00602821]!; isolecto-, P[P00602822, P00602823]!). REMARKS In the protologue, Franchet (1888) mentioned the following locality information: “ Yunnan , in umbrosis montis Che-tchotze, supra Tapin-tze, alt. 2000 m ( Delavay 2510 and Delavay 605 )”, without designating any specimen as holotype . Lipschitz (1964) selected the specimen “ Delavay 2510” as type [first-step], which is considered an inadvertent lectotyification according to Art. 7.11 of ICN ( Turland et al. 2018 ). Three original materials were traced in P (P00602821, P00602822, P00602823). According to ICN, Arts 9.6, and Art. 40, Note 1 ( Turland et al. 2018 ), none of them can be treated as holotype , but should be regarded as syntypes . After careful examination of all the sheets deposited in P and labels with Red tag “TYPE”, it is necessary to select one of them as the lectotype (ICN; Art. 9.17 Turland et al. 2018 ). We designate here the blooming specimen “ Delavay 2510 ” in P (P00602821) as the lectotype [second-step]. Since P00602821 is morphologically complete and well-preserved specimen that displays all the morphological diagnostic traits in agreement with the protologue.
