Nomenclatural note. When publishing the name V. ornata, Monjuschko (1924) mentioned five specimens examined, one specimen by Savatier (“ no. 902. Hakone, in rupibus fruticetis. 1866-1871. A. Franchet (sub nom. V. incana L.”), two by Maximowicz and two from Siebold. It is not clear whether his comment “ex Mus. Bot. Acad. Scient. Petrop.” refers just to the Siebold specimens or all five. The Paris specimens of Savatier no. 902 are unlikely to have been inspected since they are labeled “in jugo Hakone” (P03429514) and “in tractu Hakone” (P03529498 from Drake herbarium).It appears that rather Franchet sent an additional specimen to St. Petersburg, which was seen by Elenevsky (1978) and chosen as lectotype.
