Rubus clinocephalus Focke 1910

Description

Rubus clinocephalus Focke (January 1910: 102)

Type:— CHINA. Yunnan: Mengzi, collection date unknown, A. Henry 10293 (erroneously cited by Focke as 10239) (holotype B, probably destroyed, photo A!, isotypes E!, K!, US!).

Rubus multibracteatus Léveillé & Vaniot (1902: 99), nom. illeg., non Boulay & Pierrat (1900: 128).— R. pluribracteatus Lu & Boufford (2003: 255) nom. illeg. superfl. Type:— CHINA. Guizhou: Guanling County (Mou-You-Se), 17 July 1900, E. Bodinier 494 (holotype P!).

Rubus mallodes Focke (January 1910: 104). Type:— CHINA. Sichuan: Min River, June 1903, E. H. Wilson 3479 (holotype B, probably destroyed, isotypes A!, K!).

Rubus andropogon Léveillé (February 1910: 58). Type:— CHINA. Guizhou, June 1909, J. Esquirol s.n. (holotype E!, isotype A!).

Rubus major Focke (1911b: 72). Type:— CHINA. Yunnan: on Mekong-Yongjiang divide, September 1903, G. Forrest 916 (holotype E!, isotype P!).

Notes: —This species was formerly known as Rubus multibracteatus Léveillé & Vaniot (1902: 99), a later homonym of R. multibracteatus Boulay & Pierrat (1900: 128). Lu & Boufford (2003) proposed the name R. pluribracteatus to replace R. multibracteatus Léveillé & Vaniot in the Flora of China, but their name is a superfluous replacement name since they cited R. clinocephalus Focke (1910: 102), R. mallodes Focke (1910: 104), R. andropogon Léveillé (1910: 58) and R. major Focke (1911b: 72) as synonyms.

Rubus clinocephalus and R. mallodes were published simultaneously, and neither had been synonymized to the other one before, therefore they have equal priority. Here R. clinocephalus is chosen as the accepted name.

Rubus clinocephalus Focke var. lobatisepalus (T. T. Yu & L. T. Lu) Huan C. Wang & H. Sun, comb. nov. Basionym: Rubus multibracteatus H. Léveillé & Vaniot var. lobatisepalus Yu & Lu (1982: 458). Type:— CHINA.

Yunnan: Longling County, 2500 m, 10 August 1940, C. W . Wang 90045 (holotype KUN!).

Notes: — Yu & Lu (1982: 458) described this taxon as a variety of Rubus multibracteatus H. Léveillé & Vaniot, but this name is illegitimate, and the correct name is R. clinocephalus Focke (see above). Thus a new combination for var. lobatisepalus is required and proposed here.
