Typification of 23 names in Eriobotrya (Maleae, Rosaceae)

As part of a comprehensive systematic study on the genus Eriobotrya and its close relatives from the E & SE Asia, new typifications of 23 names are presented here, along with some nomenclatural notes of the names involved.

They are: E.acuminatissima, E.bengalensisvar.angustifolia; E.bengalensisf.intermedia, E.brackloi, E.brackloivar.atrichophylla, E.ellipticavar.petelotii, E.fragransvar.furfuracea, E.glabrescens, E.grandiflora, E.henryi, E.oblongifolia, E.petiolata, E.platyphylla, E.poilanei, E.prinoides, E.prinoidesvar.laotica, E.salwinensis, E.serrata, E.stipularis, Hiptagecavaleriei, Photinialongifolia, Symplocosseguinii. One neotype of Photiniadubia was also proposed in this study, and E.pseudoraphiolepis and Mespiluscuila were identified as superfluous names. In addition, we also summarized the typification of 18 names for taxonomic reference: E.angustissima, E.balgooyi, E.condaoensis, E.×daduheensis, E.elliptica, E.fulvicoma, E.fragrans, E.glabrescensvar.victoriensis, E.hookeriana, E.latifolia, E.obovata, E.malipoensis, E.merguiensis, E.tengyuehensis, E.wardii, Mespilusbengalensis, Photiniadeflexa, and M.japonica.
