Abstract

The original material of Syringa amurensis Rupr. is examined in the Herbarium LE. It is represented by 5 herbarium sheets of 3 gatherings made in 1855 by R. K. Maack’s expedition on the Amur River. We linked the data from some Maack’s specimens with the information from publications of 1857 and 1859 which dealt with those collections (see Appendix). The specimens have continuous chronological numbering, which allows to restore the dates and sites of collection for a significant number of the Maack’s gatherings from incomplete label data. In particular, this enabled us to make accurate dating of the S. amurensis specimens. The second-step lectotype of the name is designated.


Key words: Ligustrina amurensis, Syringa amurensis, lectotypification, nomenclature, herbarium collections
