Abstract:

The name Hydrocotyle chinensis (Dunn) Craib (Apiaceae) used in 《Flora Reipub-
licae Popularis Sinicae》 has had a confused history and is also a later homonym of H. chinesis
L. Hydrocotyle shanii is proposed as a new name for this species to commemorate Professor
Ren-hwa Shan's lifelong study of the Apiaceae.

Key words: Hydrocotyle, H. chinensis, H. shanii
