Rubus adenophorus Rolfe (1910: 382) , [ Rubus sagatus Focke (1911b: 198) nom. superfl. ] Type ( lectotype designated here ):— CHINA . Western Hupeh. , Chang lo Hsien , thickets, 3000 feet , 1907-09, E.H. Wilson 81 (barcode K000737866!, isolectotypes: A00112764!, C10017923!, LE01015325 !, LE01015346 !, NY00429661 !). [Image available at http://specimens.kew.org/herbarium/K000737866] . Note :— Rolfe (1910) cited one collection from China : “ Wilson 81 ” in the protologue, when he described Rubus adenophorus but did not indicate the herbarium where the specimen was deposited. Later, Focke (1911b) described a new species Rubus sagatus Focke (1911b: 198) , and cited the same specimen “ Wilson 81 ” collected from China . Consequently, Rubus sagatus is an illegitimate superfluous name for Rubus adenophorus (Art. 52.1 of the ICN ). We located 5 duplicate specimens, deposited in A (barcode 00112764), K (barcode 00429685), LE (barcode 01015325 & 01015346), and NY (barcode 00429661). All these collections should be regarded as syntypes ( ICN ; Art. 9.6, Turland et al. 2018 ). Hence, we designate here the sheet “ E.H. Wilson 81 ” kept in K (barcode 000737866), as the lectotype (Art. 9.12 of the ICN ). The selected sheet is complete with the presence of stem, leaves, flower, and fruit that fully correspond with the protologue.
