1. Bischofia racemosa W. C. Cheng & C. D. Chu ex Yi F. Duan & X. R. Wang Type:— CHINA. Jiangsu: Nanjing, Xuanwuhu, 28 October 1951, C. T. Yang 20578 (holotype NF-08300375!, isotypes NF-08300304!, NF-08300306!, NF-08300311!, NF-08300331!, NF-08300333!). Paratypes:— CHINA. Jiangsu: Nanjing, Xuanwuhu, 6 May 1951, C. T. Yang 20394 (NF-08300301!, NF-08300308!, NF-08300309!, NF-08300312!, NF-08300329!); same locality, 15 May 1956, C. T. Yang 21484 (NF-08300307!, NF-08300338!, NF-08300339!). Three gatherings, C. T. Yang 20394, C. T. Yang 21484 and C. T. Yang 20578, were designated as type in the original protologue (Cheng et al. 1963). Here we designate one of the sheets of C. T. Yang 20578 as the holotype. The validating description and diagnosis were previously published by Cheng & Chu in Cheng et al. (1963: 13). Li & Gilbert (2010) treated the name as a heterotypic synonym of Bischofia polycarpa (Léveillé 1912: 296) Airy Shaw (1972: 271) in the Flora of China.
