Typification of seven Chinese species of Pedicularis (Orobanchaceae) described by Bureau and Franchet with taxonomic notes
Year: 2015
Type: article
Abstract: Background – Seven species of Pedicularis ( P. batangensis, P. birostris, P. goniantha, P. microphyton, P. princeps, P. rhynchodonta and P. tatsienensis ) described by Bureau & Franchet are based on collections made by Prince Henri d'Orléans in 1890. Because these specimens lack collection numbers Bureau & Franchet merely described their provenance in the protologue, which has created much subsequent difficulty for authors seeking to access the types. Material and Methods – Type materials conserved at P were seen and accessed online through high quality digital photographs. Other materials conserved at CDBI, F, GH, KUN NY, PE, and US were also examined. Key results – The lectotypes for seven names are designated. In addition, P. przewalskii var. hirsuta H.L.Li is newly reduced to synonym of P. przewalskii subsp. microphyton (≡ P. microphyton ), and P. rhynchodonta f. maxima is also lectotypified herein.
