The new combination was proposed by Tao & al. (l.c. 1978) with a full and direct reference to “Libocedrus lantenoisi Colani, pp. 117-118, 1920”. This, however, is not the place of valid publication of the intended basionym, which had previously been published, with the same type, by Laurent (1909). As Chinese authors provided no reference to Laurent’s earlier publication, their error of citation does not affect the valid publication of their new combination. ICN, Art. 41.8.
