Resolving Ambiguities in the Type Details of Shangwua masarica (Asteraceae)
摘要
This study aims to revisit the type details of Shangwua masarica and its synonym. We confirm the legitimacy of the lectotypification made by Lipschitz in 1979 and correct errors in subsequent interpretations. A second-step lectotype of Saussurea tadshikorum is also designated following the rules of the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (ICN). This paper ensures accuracy, consistency, and nomenclatural stability for Shangwua masarica and its synonym, which is crucial for taxonomic and floristic studies in this important Himalayan taxon.
