Note Q.

Koidzumi (1913) described Rhaphiolepis umbellata var. liukiuensis and did not mention any type material except the locality "Liukiu: Okinawasima; Korea: Quelpaert". Nakai designated the collection U. Faurie 1562 as type, however, it should be lectotype [first-step] according to Art. 9.17 ( Turland et al. 2018). This designation of the lectotype is found to refer to three sheets in herbaria A, B, and P, and needs to be further narrowed to a single one of these specimens by way of a subsequent lectotypification [second-step].
