NOTES

Nobody dares to name Daphne papyracea Wall. ex Steud. (Papery daphne) as a synonym of Daphne papyrifera Sieb. Is it by accident ? or is there a real difference between the 2 plants ? IPNI come close by citing Daphne papyrifera Buch.-Ham. ex Meisn. as a synonym of Daphne papyracea Wall. ex Steud. while they place Daphne papyrifera Siebold as a synonym of Edgeworthia chrysantha Lindl.

The synonymy of the following appears obvious at first glance. After careful examination however it seems that there is a bushy plant with one species from the Himalayan region (Edgeworthia) and one "small tree" from China - Taiwan (Tetrapanax). It is likely that there are 2 groups of synonyms referring to 2 different plants. Perhaps 3 groups are involved ? Certainly Tetrapanax is distinguished from others in the sense that the pith of its stems is used to make paper as opposed to the bark fiber of other paper plants.
