Abstract

A search of the "International Plant Names Index" for records associated with Dr. Hu Shiu Ying (1910-2012), revealed that 250 plants within 35 families were named by her, and one genus and seven species were named in her honor. Her own collections served as type specimens for 22 plant names. In the 1950s, Shiu Ying Hu produced a card file of Chinese plant names, later digitized in the 1990s as "The Hu Card Index," which provided data for previously non-indexed infraspecific names. Dr. Hu is recognized for her contributions to China's flora.
