Plants of this vitaceoiis climber from China were received under the name 

 Parthenocissus thomsoni, published in 1887 by Planchon, based on Vitis thom- 

 soni Lawson. The earliest name applied to this genus, however, is Psedera of 

 Necker (Elementa, vol. 1, p. 158, 1790). It is therefore necessary to adopt here 

 the name Psedera thomsoni.
