Although P. K. Lôc attempted to make the combination Callerya dielsiana (Bot. Zhurn. (Moscow & Leningrad) 81(10): 99. 1996), it was not validly published because he did not provide a full bibliographic reference to the basionym (Vienna Code, Art. 33.4). Consequently (Art. 43.1), the two varietal combinations made below were not validly published by X. Y. Zhu (in X. Y. Zhu et al., Legumes China, 452. 2007).
