content: Conioselinum sinomedicum Pimenov & Kljuykov (2003, Willdenowia 33: 367) is an explicit replacement name for Ligusticum sinense Oliv. (1891, Hooker's Icon. Pl. 20(3): pl. 1958), non Conioselinum chinense (L.) Britton et al. However, the authors cite as a synonym Carum anthriscoides H. Boissieu (1906, Bull. Soc. Bot. France 53: 426). This name has priority over their nom. nov., making it a superfluous and illegitimate name. The lectotypification is also problematic. The protologue cites 2 syntypes, Henry 6759 A & 6759 B, one from Hupeh & one from “Szechwan”. It's not entirely clear from the protologue which syntype came from which locality, but the specimens at K (as well as duplicates elsewhere) make it clear that 6759 A = Sichuan and 6759 B = Hupeh. Pimenov & Kljuykov cite the Hupeh syntype as the lectotype (K) but mis-cite it as 6759A. Or is 6759A the lectotype and they mis-cite the locality as Hupeh? (There are 2 sheets of 6759 A at K and both are from Sichuan). None of these 3 sheets at K bears any annotations by Pimenov or Kljuykov. So which syntype is the lectotype? I throw up my hands.
