Abstract

A new name, Primula sinobreviscapa Idrees & J. M. H. Shaw, is proposed for the species P. breviscapa Franch., described by Franchet in 1895 from China, as its name is a later homonym of P. breviscapa Clairv. (1811). A Delavay specimen is designated as lectotype. Notes on Delavay’s numbering system are included.
