Notes. – The type specimen of Anemone japonica from Japan was collected by Thunberg. WIJNANDS (1988: 3, 5) equated this with Clematis florida Thunb., a name that is also cited in THUNBERG (VIII.1784: 240). Clematis florida is the accepted name as Houttuyn’s epithet in Clematis L. is preceded by C. japonica Thunb. published in MURRAY (1784: 512). Its type specimen is in the Thunberg herbarium (UPS-THUNB n° 13023). Following to our remarks under Acrostichum hastatum above, these specimens are duplicates of each other and the combinations are homotypic.
