Author citations for nomenclatural novelties published in volume 15 of Flora Reipublicae Popularis Sinicae (FRPS)

Abstract

The correct author citation for nomenclatural novelties in volume 15 of the 126-volume Flora Reipublicae Popularis Sinicae (FRPS) (1958–2004) was not adequately explained in the publication. Although this volume was edited by Prof. Fa-Tsuan Wang (1899–1985) and Prof. Tsin Tang (1897–1984) and all of the authors that contributed to it are listed on the two pages next to the last one, the contributor(s) to each generic account was not provided. However, they were provided by Chen et al. (1993), which should be treated as external evidence for correct citation for nomenclatural novelties in volume 15 (Art. 46.9; McNeill et al. 2012).
