Description

<p>The lectotypification of Pyrola subaphylla, specifically the lectotype identity and collection locality, is reappraised. The identity of the lectotype was reassessed based on leaf morphology and it has been revealed that the lectotype designated previously was a mixed gathering that comprises three plants of P. subaphylla and one of P. japonica. For conformance with recent taxonomy of P. subaphylla, a second-step lectotypification is made by excluding aP. japonica plant. From a bibliographic survey, we inferred that the lectotype collection locality “Sigi-nope” cited by C. J. Maximowicz corresponds to “Shukunobe”, a former place name in Hokkaido, Japan. The lectotype specimens were likely collected at or near Shukunobe village, which was located within the current Mori-machi, Kayabe-gun, or in the vicinity of the Shukunobe-gawa River, which flows into Lake Onuma.</p>
