Abstract

The name Sabinaconvalliumvar.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 Sabinaconvallium (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 onSabinaconvalliumvar.microsperma were valid, including Sabinamicrosperma (W.C.Cheng & L.K.Fu) W.C.Cheng & L.K.Fu, Juniperusconvalliumvar.microsperma (W.C.Cheng & L.K.Fu) Silba, Juniperusmicrosperma (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.
