Pterocarya rhoifolioides, a New Name for the Fossil Pterocarya japonica (Juglandaceae)

Abstract

A junior homonym of an extant species, the fossil Pterocarya japonica Uemura 1988 (non Dippel 1891), which was previously proposed for the illegitimate homonym Juglans japonica Tanai 1961 (non Miquel 1867), is replaced with a new name, P. rhoifolioides Doweld.
