Yunnan, Eryuan, Lanho, Yang-in-chan, 7 August 1883, Delavay 130 (syntypes: P00709357 , P00709358 , P06392623 )

TYPE:— CHINA. Yunnan, between Dali and Heqing, Koua-la-po, 2500 m, 24 Jully 1884, Delavay n.31 (syntypes: not located) = Parnassia mairei Léveillé (1913: 282)

Notes: Three collections (Delavay 217, Delavay s.n. and Delavay Parnassia n.2.) were indicated in the protologue. Five duplicates of Delavay 217 were traced from P, a complete and well-presented specimen ( P 00709352) is selected as the lectotype. Although no collection number was given for the syntype Delavay s.n., its details were cited as ‘ in faucibus Lan-ho, ad basin montis Yang-in-chan, prope Langkong; fl. 7 aug. 1883 (Delavay) ’. Three specimens that match all these descriptions were found, which were labeled as Delavay 130, and thus, we treated them as syntypes. For the syntype Delavay Parnassia n.2, the protologue had no details, except that it was collected from ‘ Dali, Lankong, Kua-la-po ’. Seven sheets labeled Delavay Parnassia n.2 were traced from P. Two sheets ( P 05556377 and P 06392701) were collected from Dali, Eryuan, Mo-so-yin, and one ( P 05556379) from Tchuo-cheou; therefore, these are not the syntypes. Two sheets ( P 06392700 and P 05556388) collected from Eryuan in July 1883 and one ( P 05556378) from Dali on 4 July 1882 are determined as P. wightiana , so they are also not the syntypes of P. delavayi . Only the remaining specimen ( P 06392622) from Dali, collected in July 1882, was determined as P. delavayi , is possibly one of the syntypes of this name.
