Typification of Corylopsis coreana {Hamamelidaceae) and Carpinus laxiflora var. longispica {Betulaceae)

摘要

For two Korean woody taxa described by H. Uyeki (1924) lectotype of Corylopsis coreana Uyeki (Hamamelidaceae) and neotype of Carpinus laxiflora (Siebold & Zucc.) Blume var. longispica Uyeki (Betulaceae) are designated here. During an investigation ofwoody flora in Korea we found type problems in H. Uyeki's colletion. Typification of two well recognized taxa, Carpinus laxiflora (Siebold & Zucc.) Blume var. longispica Uyeki (Betulaceae) and Corylopsis coreana Uyeki (Hamamelidaceae) is necessary because Uyeki's original collections were destroyed during the Korean War (1950-1953). First a brief summary of his personal history is necessary in order to understand the circumstances.
