9. Tribe ANTHEMIDEAE

pubescent, usually bracteolate. Involucre ovoid to ovoid-campanulate,
2.5–4 × 1.5–2.5 mm; phyllaries ca. 3-seriate, glabrous,
inner zone sometimes tinged purplish, scarious margin
broad, hyaline; outer phyllaries broadly ovate, short, with
slightly thickened midrib, apex rounded to subacute; inner phyllaries
oblong-ovoid, apex acute, sometimes slightly recurved.

Y. Ling & Y. R. Ling (Acta Phytotax. Sin. 18: 511. 1980) published
Artemisia xigazeensis as a “nom. nov.” for A. salsoloides sensu J.
D. Hooker (Fl. Brit. India 3: 321. 1881), not Willdenow (Sp. Pl. 3: 1832.
1803), explicitly including in synonymy both A. salsoloides var. salsoloides
(as misapplied by Hooker, loc. cit.), A. salsoloides var. paniculata
J. D. Hooker (loc. cit.), and A. salsoloides f. halodendron Pampanini
(Nuovo Giorn. Bot. Ital., n.s., 34: 697. 1927). This multiplicity of elements
means that the replaced synonym was not clearly indicated, as is
required by Art. 33.4 of the Vienna Code for valid publication of a replacement
name. Artemisia xigazeensis was not instead validly published
as the name of a new taxon because no type was indicated (Art.
37.1).
The name Artemisia xigazeensis has been consistently applied to a
distinctive small caespitose plant branching mostly very near ground
level and with erect racemelike panicles. The present treatment excludes
the syntypes of A. salsoloides var. paniculata, all of which have 1 to
few stems branching mostly well above ground level and have relatively
broad panicles, matching A. prattii rather well. In these circumstances,
A. xigazeensis is here described as a new species.
