Therefore, we treat <i>R.davidianus</i> as a new synonym within <i>Rubus</i>. We propose a new name, <i>Rubusloirensis</i> Ti R.

Additionally, lectotypification of three names, <i>R.davidianus</i> Kuntze, <i>R.malifolius</i> Focke and <i>R.viburnifolius</i> Franch., are designated here after examination of previous works.PhytoKeys13-32https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC9836604biostudies-literatureNomenclatural and taxonomic notes on <i>Rubusdavidianus</i> Kuntze and <i>R.viburnifolius</i> Franch.PMC9836604Yu LHuang TLi JMa LWang CYang MWang WYang AWang HfalseNomenclatural and taxonomic notes on <i>Rubusdavidianus</i> Kuntze and <i>R.viburnifolius</i> Franch.Critical examinations of specimens, with literature reviews, have shown that <i>Rubusdavidianus</i> is conspecific with <i>R.lambertianus</i>.
