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

Abstract:

Delphinium bulleyanum Forrest ex Diels var. leiogynum W. T. Wang and D. wenchuanense W. T. Wang (Ranunculaceae) were described respectively from Danba and Wenchuan in western Sichuan, China. Both herbarium and field observations have shown that they are identical with D. pseudotongolense W. T. Wang, a species previously recorded to occur in western Sichuan (Baoxing, Dujiangyan, Wenchuan). We therefore reduce them to the synonymy of D. pseudotongolense.
