4. Rubus cockburnianus Hemsley (1892: 305)

Type (lectotype designated here):— CHINA. Sichuan West Sichaun and Tibetan Frontier, chiefly near Tachienlu , 9000-13500ft, A.E. Pratt 97 (barcode K000737805!, isolectotypes: A00040554, K000737803!, K000737804!, P00746066!, P00746068!). [Image available at http://specimens.kew.org/herbarium/K000737805] .

Note:— Hemsley (1892) cited one collection “ Pratt 97 ” in the protologue when he described Rubus cockburnianus , without indicating the herbaria where the specimen was deposited. We located six duplicate specimens, one of them in A (barcode 00040554), three of them deposited in K (barcode 000737803-000737805), and two of them in P (barcode 00746066 & 00746068) from which lectotype could be chosen (Art. 9.12 of ICN). Hence, we designate here the specimen “ A.E. Pratt ” in K (barcode 000737805) as the lectotype. The selected sheet is complete and well preserved specimens that fully correspond with the protologue.
