General comments: 

The place of publication given here differs from that stated in Fl. China 16: 316. 1995. The original authors published this name twice in 1979: the Fl. Yunnaica account appeared in March 1979; the Fl. Reip. Pop. Sin 64(1) account was only published in May 1979. Thus the later name is an isonym, to be discarded (K. Gandhi, pers. comm. 22 Sept. 2011).
