Abstract

Based on observations on herbarium specimens (including type material) and living plants in the wild, we demonstrate that Artemisia taibaishanensis (Asteraceae, Anthemideae) is conspecific with A. qinlingensis. We therefore place A. taibaishanensis in the synonymy of A. qinlingensis herein. Lectotypification is proposed for A. qinlingensis and its geographical distribution is also clarified.
