Abstract

Although the specific epithet of Callicarpa minutiflora Y. Y. Qian has been revised for many times, during the study of the genus Callicarpa, we find that C. minutiflora Y. Y. Qian is identical to C. longifolia Lamarck by a series of morphologic characters. In order to avoid more confusion, here C. minutiflora Y. Y. Qian is reduced as a synonym of C. longifolia Lamarck.
