心叶兔儿风(原变种) xin ye tu er feng (yuan bian zhong)

Ainsliaea bonatii var. arachnoidea Beauverd; A. bonatii var. glabra Beauverd; A. pteropoda Candolle var. platyphylla Franchet.

Petiole 5-19 cm × 4-18 mm (at upper point); leaf blade broadly ovate to orbicular, 6-11.5 × 5-11.5 cm, apex acute to subobtuse. Florets usually chasmogamous, occasionally florets cleistogamous at apex of stem.

● Dense forests, stream banks; 900-3000 m. Chongqing, Guizhou, Sichuan, Yunnan.

The lectotype of Ainsliaea pteropoda var. platyphylla (Yunnan, J. M. Delavay 607, P!) shows no diagnostic character that differentiates it from A. bonatii var. bonatii; the former name is therefore placed into synonymy of the latter.
