AD2A87DFFFB0FFA0C2B13E2EFE7F268C.taxon	etymology	Etymology: — The specific epithet refers to " Ma'er Shan ", the locality of the type collection. Notes: — In 1890, Franchet (1890: 206) proposed the name Rubus lutescens for a species endemic to southwestern China. Unfortunately, the name R. lutescens had been previously used by Boulay (1868: 105) for a European species, thus Franchet's name is a later homonym of R. lutescens Boulay and is illegitimate. Franchet's species has been recognized as distinct species by most authors since it was described. Therefore a replacement name (nomen novum) for this Chinese species is required and R. maershanensis Huan C. Wang & H. Sun is proposed here.	en	WANG, HUAN-CHONG, WANG, YUE-HUA, SUN, HANG (2013): Nomenclatural changes in Rubus (Rosaceae) mostly from China.

(lectotype K- 000737690!, designated here).	en	WANG, HUAN-CHONG, WANG, YUE-HUA, SUN, HANG (2013): Nomenclatural changes in Rubus (Rosaceae) mostly from China.

AD2A87DFFFB0FFA0C2B13FE8FC9124DC.taxon	etymology	Etymology: — The specific epithet derives from Morocco, the country where the species was found. Notes: — Ball (1873: 332) proposed the name Rubus debilis for a distinct species endemic to Morocco, which Focke placed in subgenus Idaeobatus. The name R. debilis, however, had been previously used by Boulay (1868: 98) for a different French species. Thus Ball's name is a later homonym of R. debilis Boulay and illegitimate. A replacement name (nomen novum), R. maroccensis Huan C. Wang & H. Sun, is proposed here. Ball (1873) did not cite specimens in the protologue of his Rubus debilis. The specimen J. Ball s. n. (K 000737690) is here chosen as the lectotype since this sheet agrees in all respects with Ball's protologue and bears Ball's handwriting " Rubus debilis nob. " on the label.	en	WANG, HUAN-CHONG, WANG, YUE-HUA, SUN, HANG (2013): Nomenclatural changes in Rubus (Rosaceae) mostly from China.

AD2A87DFFFB1FFA1C2B43844FC3D2541.taxon	description	Rubus andropogon Léveillé (February 1910: 58). Type: — CHINA. Guizhou, June 1909, J. Esquirol s. n. (holotype E!, isotype A!).	en	WANG, HUAN-CHONG, WANG, YUE-HUA, SUN, HANG (2013): Nomenclatural changes in Rubus (Rosaceae) mostly from China.

AD2A87DFFFB1FFA1C2B43844FC3D2541.taxon	description	Rubus clinocephalus and R. mallodes were published simultaneously, and neither had been synonymized to the other one before, therefore they have equal priority. Here R. clinocephalus is chosen as the accepted name.	en	WANG, HUAN-CHONG, WANG, YUE-HUA, SUN, HANG (2013): Nomenclatural changes in Rubus (Rosaceae) mostly from China.

AD2A87DFFFB1FFA1C2B43844FC3D2541.taxon	description	Notes: — Yu & Lu (1982: 458) described this taxon as a variety of Rubus multibracteatus H. Léveillé & Vaniot, but this name is illegitimate, and the correct name is R. clinocephalus Focke (see above). Thus a new combination for var. lobatisepalus is required and proposed here.	en	WANG, HUAN-CHONG, WANG, YUE-HUA, SUN, HANG (2013): Nomenclatural changes in Rubus (Rosaceae) mostly from China.
