Abstract

The name Sabina convallium var. microsperma W.C.Cheng & W.T.Wang was not validly published when it was first described in 1975, but was validated in 1978 at the same time as the specific combination Sabina convallium (Rehder & E.H.Wilson) W.C.Cheng & W.T.Wang was validly published in Flora Reipublicae Popularis Sinicae. Under Art. 41.6 of the Shenzhen Code, other names based onSabina convallium var. microsperma were valid, including Sabinamicrosperma (W.C.Cheng & L.K.Fu) W.C.Cheng & L.K.Fu, Juniperus convallium var. microsperma (W.C.Cheng & L.K.Fu) Silba, Juniperus microsperma (W.C.Cheng & L.K.Fu) R.P.Adams, despite the reference of the basionym being erroneously cited when these authors made the new combinations.
