Notes.

For a considerable period, the attribution of the valid publication of the combination Cynanchum paniculatum to Kitagawa (1940: 20) has been mistakenly upheld by most taxonomists (e.g., Tsiang & Li 1977; Li et al. 1995; Liede-Schumann & Meve 2018). Although it was initially proposed as an alternative name for Vincetoxicum pycnostelma Kitag., and alternative names are considered valid if published before 1953 according to Art. 36.3 of ICN, it was listed as a synonym. As per Art. 36.3 of ICN, the valid publication of an alternative name must be accepted simultaneously by the author. Subsequently, Hara (1948) accepted this name, and therefore the authorship of C. paniculatum should be attributed as "(Bunge) Kitag. ex H. Hara" or simply "(Bunge) H. Hara".

Pobedimova (1952: 671) referenced the type of Asclepias paniculata located in Paris. Grubov (2000: 137) and Imkhanitzkaya (2010: 61) subsequently cited its holotype at P and an isotype at LE. Since only one type specimen was found from each herbarium (P and LE), Pobedimova’s original type citation should be acknowledged as a valid lectotypification (Art. 7.11 of ICN). The recent lectotypification by Liede-Schumann (2018: 159) is superfluous.

Pampanini (1910) mentioned two specimens at FI, Silvestri 1883 and 1883a, in the protologue of Pycnostelma paniculatum var. hirsutum. These specimens are syntypes (Art. 9.6) but are part of the same gathering (Art. 8.2) as they were collected from the same locations on the same day. Silvestri 1883 (FI016899), which displays a greater number of flowers, is selected as the lectotype of P. paniculatum var. hirsutum.

Makino (1926) cited a single gathering in the protologue of Pycnostelma paniculatum var. l atifolium Makino but did not provide herbarium details. The type could not be located in either TI or MAK, leading us to conclude it is either lost or never preserved. Consequently, we designated a neotype collected by the same individual from the same locality, one year prior to the original type.

In the protologue of Pycnostelma leucanthum, one gathering collected by Kitagawa was designated as the type. We found two duplicates of Kitagawas’s specimens at TI, both bearing his handwritten new name. We have selected the specimen with more flowers (TI00241335) as the lectotype.
