03DE879AC97CFFA18782F9A8FAB32D5C.taxon	materials_examined	Type: — CHINA. Anhui, Dongzhi, Shengjin Lake, on riparian plains, alt. 6 – 20 m a. s. l., 4 October 2006, Zhou 0602 (holotype PE! isotype ANU). Note: — The var. rotunda differs from the nominal one in having narrowly lanceolate to linear-lanceolate leaves blades (4.5 – 9.0 × 0.5 – 0.9 cm), with rounded base and nearly absent petiole [var. jacinda has leaves blades elliptic-lanceolate (6.0 – 10.0 × 1.5 – 2.5 cm), cuneate at the base and petiole 3.0 – 6.0 mm long].	en	Li, Bo, Fan, Dengmei, Lei, Shuqing, Zhang, Zhiyong (2013): New combinations in Persicaria (Polygonaceae: Persicarieae) for the Flora of China.

03DE879AC97CFFA08782F889FC4F2AAC.taxon	description	Note: — This variety is distinguishable by its rounded leaves base.	en	Li, Bo, Fan, Dengmei, Lei, Shuqing, Zhang, Zhiyong (2013): New combinations in Persicaria (Polygonaceae: Persicarieae) for the Flora of China. Phytotaxa 91 (1): 24-26, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.91.1.2, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/phytotaxa.91.1.2
03DE879AC97DFFA08787FF19FEF928E5.taxon	description	347). Lectotype (here designated): — CHINA. Hubei, Ichang, Patung, Chienshih, March 1889, Henry 6001 (K 000831075, Kew!). Note: — Six collections (Henry 1344, 3889, 6075, 6075 A, 6001, 6954) are listed in the protologue and they are sintypes (art. 9.5 of the ICN, McNeill et al. 2012). Since the specimen No. 6001 is the better preserved it is here designated as the lectotype of the name P. runcinata var. sinensis. This taxon differs from the nominal one in having glabrous or sparsely shortly strigose leaves blades with only one pair lateral lobes, and paniculate capitula (var. runcinata has sparsely strigose leaves blades with 2 – 3 pairs lateral lobes, and geminate capitula.).	en	Li, Bo, Fan, Dengmei, Lei, Shuqing, Zhang, Zhiyong (2013): New combinations in Persicaria (Polygonaceae: Persicarieae) for the Flora of China.
