VALIDATION OF QIONGZHUEA AND CORRELATED SPECIES NAMES (GRAMINEAE, BAMBUSOIDEAE)

Qiongzhuea, when first published, was based on ''Q. tumidinoda'' as de signated type. However, the latter name was not validly published beca use two different type specimens were cited. therefore the generic nam e, and all specific names that were subsequently published under it, a re not valildly published either. A new name for Q. tumidinoda was lat er validated by Ohrnberger under Chimonobambusa, C. tumidissinoda, whe reas the generic name still needs to be validated. The terms and condi tions are here met for validating the name Qiongzhuea, and all species names concerned, under the provisions of the Code.
