Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <italic>Metaeritrichium</italic> has been considered monotypic and endemic to China in traditional taxonomic treatments. However, our examinations of specimens and bibliography, combined with field observations, reveal that <italic>Metaeritrichium microuloides</italic> is conspecific with <italic>Actinocarya acaulis. Metaeritrichium</italic> is therefore treated as a synonym of <italic>Actinocarya</italic>. We also clarify the typification of <italic>Actinocarya acaulis.</italic></p> </abstract>
