Popis: | Based on critical observations on both herbarium specimens (including type material) and living plants in the wild, we demonstrate that Thalictrum cuonaense (Ranunculaceae), described from Cona county in southern Xizang (Tibet), China, is conspecific with T. reniforme, an elegant Himalayan species widely distributed in Bhutan, China (southern Xizang), northeastern India (Sikkim), and Nepal. We therefore reduce T. cuonaense to the synonymy of T. reniforme herein. Lectotypification is proposed for T. reniforme. Taxonomic notes are provided for another two distinctive Himalayan species, T. chelidonii and T. neurocarpum, to clarify their identification confusion with T. reniforme. The identity of T. tamurae, described from central-western Myanmar, is also discussed. |
