Taxonomic Studies on the Genus Delphinium (Ranunculaceae) from China (Ⅰ)：Two New Synonyms of D. coleopodum

Abstract:

Both herbarium and field observations have shown that Delphinium yulungshanicum W. T. Wang and D. grandilimbum W. T. Wang & M. J. Warnock, both described from Yulong Shan, Lijiang, northwestern Yunnan, China, are no more than a diminutive form of D. coleopodum Hand.-Mazz., a species currently known only from Yulong Shan. We therefore reduce them to the synonymy of D. coleopodum.
