Validation of the Chinese names Bischofia racemosa (Euphorbiaceae), Ulmus erythrocarpa and Ulmus multinervis (Ulmaceae)

While studying the type specimens housed at NF (Nanjing Forestry University Herbarium, Nanjing, China), we found that three names, Bischofia racemosa Cheng & Chu in Cheng et al. (1963: 13) (Euphorbiaceae), Ulmus erythrocarpa Cheng (1958: 72) (Ulmaceae) and U. multinervis Cheng (1958: 70) (Ulmaceae), were not validly published, because two or three gatherings were designated as types for each name (ICN Art. 40.2; McNeill et al. 2012). Here we validate these three names by choosing one specimen as the type for each of them.
