Nomenclatural Notes
Status: nom. inval. Name status: nom. inval. Hydrangea thunbergii Siebold (1829) is an illegitimate, superfluous name for Viburnum serratum Thunb. (in Murray, 1784); H. serrata (Thunb.) Ser. (1830) is a new combination based on V. serratum; Ohba (l.c.) published “Hydrangea serrata (Thunb. ex Murray) Ser var. Thunbergii (Sieb.) H. Ohba” as a comb. nov. and cited “H. thunbeγgii Sieb.” as the basionym; he did not cite a type. Since Obha included V. serratum in H. serrata, it is evident that he excluded V. serratum from var. thunbergii and thus inadvertently and invalidly published “H. serrata var. thunbergii” as a var. nov. (type citation lacking)
