Nomenclatural note
Lemanea crassa SL Xie and ZX Shi, Acta Bot Sinica 46:884 (2004); Lemanea ramosa SL Xie and ZX Shi, Acta Bot Sinica 46:884 (2004). Lemanea simplex CC Jao, Sinensia 12:272 (1941); and Lemanea sinica CC Jao, Sinensia 12:270 (1941). These four species are only known from the type localities and have numerous characteristics in common with each other and L. manipurensis and all five species are from Asia; these species have been differentiated by a combination of plant size, degree of branching and spermatangia in papillae/interrupted rings or contiguous rings, but further molecular and morphological research is required to verify the uniqueness of each; if they are determined to be synonymous, L. sinica has nomenclatural priority. - (15 April 2022) - M.D. Guiry
