Abstract:Examination of herbarium specimens and pollen morphology has shown that the specimens from southeastern Xizang (Mêdog) previously identified as Anemone davidii Franch. (Ranunculaceae) actually belong to A. griffithii Hook. f. & Thoms. Previous records of the occurrence of A. davidii in southeastern Xizang are therefore not correct. This species is currently known from Chongqing (Chengkou, Nanchuan, Wulong, Wuxi, Youyang, Yunyang), Guizhou (Jiangkou, Kaili, Leishan), Hubei (Shennongjia, Xingshan, Xuanen, Zhuxi), Hunan (Sangzhi, Shimen, Xinning), Sichuan (Anxian, Baoxing, Dujiangyan, Ebian, Emei, Hongya, Jinyang, Junlian, Leibo, Mabian, Shimian, Tianquan, Tongjiang, Yingjing), and Yunnan (Dali, Mojiang, Weixi, Zhongdian), China.
