Abstract

In preparing the treatment of the Elaeocarpaceae for the Flora of China, lectotypification is indicated for Elaeocarpus decipiens Hemsley ex Forbes & Hemsley and further nomenclatural change is required regarding a related taxon from Taiwan. The name Elaeocarpus lanyuensis C. E. Chang is invalid because the type was not indicated in the protologue, and the combination E. sylvestris var. lanyuensis (C. E. Chang) C. E. Chang is therefore illegitimate. Elaeocarpus decipiens Hemsley ex Forbes & Hemsley var. changii Y. Tang is published as a new variety, replacing these earlier names.
