Abstract

Salix muliensis Goerz was originally described based on three collections. The specimens in these collections belong to two different taxa (S. muliensis and S. wuxuhaiensis N. Chao). Chinese authors have in many cases misapplied S. muliensis to S. floccosa Burkill. The names S. muliensis, S. occidentalisinensis N. Chao and S. wuxuhaiensis are lectotypified, and S. occidentalisinensis is treated as a synonym of S. muliensis.
