Revisiting the validation of the name Magnolia champacifolia J. E. Dandy ex F. Gagnepain, sp. nov. (Magnoliaceae)

A previously invalid name, Magnolia champacifolia J. E. Dandy ex F. Gagnepain, was validated by Vu et al. in 2015. However the authors, instead of designating the holotype, erroneously designated a lectotype, that cannot be corrected to holotype, following Art. 9.10 of the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (Shenzhen Code). As the Art. 40.6 no longer allows, since the 1st January 1990, the designation of a “lectotype” in naming a new species, the name is still invalid. As the species is worthy of recognition, M. champacifolia is validated here by choosing the specimen Poilane 6472 with barcode P00203965 kept at the herbarium P as the holotype.
