Taxonomic Studies on the Genus Ligularia Cass. (Asteraceae, Senecioneae) from China (V): Correction of Typographical Errors in the Protologue of L. lingiana, L. changiana and L. nanchuanica

Abstract:

We correct several typographical errors in the protologue of three species in the genus Ligularia Cass. (Asteraceae, Senecioneae). The holotype of L. lingiana S. W. Liu, incorrectly cited as Q. S. Zhao 82946 in the protologue, is actually Q. S. Zhao, K. P. Mou & Y. B. Yang 8294. The holotype of L. changiana S. W. Liu ex Y. L. Chen & Z. Yu Li (=L. heterophylla C. C. Chang, a later homonym of L. heterophylla Rupr.), incorrectly cited as H. T. Tsai 59711 in the protologue of L. heterophylla C. C. Chang, is actually H. T. Tsai 59771; the former collection belongs to Clinopodium polycephalum (Vaniot) C. Y. Wu & Hsuan in the Labiatae. One of the paratype collections of L. nanchuanica S. W. Liu was wrongly cited as J. H. Xiong & Z. L. Zhou 93871 in the protologue, but actually is K. F. Li 63871; the former collection belongs to Clethra fargesii Franch. in the Clethraceae.
