Cornus ulotricha var. leptophylla W. K. Hu ex P. C. Li (in C. Y. Wu, Fl. Xizang. 3: 528. 1986) was published independently from Swida ulotricha var. leptophylla W. K. Hu (Bull. Bot. Res., Harbin 4(3): 106. 1984). The protologues cite a type gathering made at the same locality on the same date, but with different collection numbers.
