Comment:
  • an illegitimate later homonym (Shenzhen ICN 53) that is unavailable for use
  • Beck did not assign the rank of variety (or German Abart) to this taxon, and accepted more than one infraspecific rank (including some forma) in this work dated after 1 January 1890, so Shenzhen ICN 37.4 cannot be applied and the name is unranked under Shenzhen ICN 37.3
