NOTES

Lecomte (1930: 948) only cited a Chevalier collection from “ Annam: S. massif de Hon-ba, alt. 1200–1500 m., en forêt” as the original material. Nguyen (1996: 66) cited Chevalier s.n. (P) as the holotype, effectively making a first-step lectotypification. We have located five sheets of Chevalier 38854 at E, K and P, collected from the cited locality, and annotated by Chevalier as “ Diospyros fleuryana A.Chev. ”. Three of them, K000342277, P00721602 andP00721604 are also annotated as “type” in Chevalier’s handwriting.The specimen P00721602, being in the best conditions, is chosen here as the lectotype.
