Validation of the Name Cotoneaster gonggashanensis (Rosaceae)

Abstract

Cotoneaster gonggashanensis J. Fryer & B. Hylmö (Rosaceae), originally described from Liuba (Sichuan), China, was not validly published in 2009 because two collections were simultaneously indicated as type in the protologue. The name is validated here, by designating one collection kept in K as the holotype.
