Taxonomic Studies on the Genus Delphinium (Ranunculaceae) from China (XII): The Identity of D. yangii

Abstract:

Both herbarium and field observations have shown that Delphinium yangii W. T. Wang (Ranunculaceae) described from Zhongdian, northwestern Yunnan, China is identical with D. smithianum Hand.-Mazz., a species previously reported to occur in that area and also in western Sichuan (Kangding, Xiaojin, Wenchuan). Therefore the former was placed in synonymy with the latter.
