Taxonomic Studies on the Genus Ligularia Cass. (Asteraceae, Senecioneae) from China (II): The Identity of L. fangiana

Abstract:

Through literature and herbarium surveys, it was found that Ligularia melanothyrsa Hand.-Mazz. had been misidentified as L. fangiana Hand.-Mazz. in the Flora Reipublicae Popularis Sinicae 77(2) and in the Flora of China 20-21, and that L. fangiana should be placed in synonymy under L. wilsoniana (Hemsl.)
