Abstract

Dichocarpum hypoglaucum, D. lobatipetalum, and D. malipoense (Ranunculaceae) were all described from south-east Yunnan, China. Our critical examination of herbarium specimens (including type materials) indicates that the three names encompass only one species. As D. hypoglaucum is the earliest published name, we place both D. lobatipetalum and D. malipoense in synonymy with it.
