While preparing the account of As¬ tragalus L. (Fabaceae) for the Flora of China, Vol¬ ume 10, it was noticed that one species, A. yume¬ nensis S. B. Ho. described from Gansu Province in 1983, was invalidly named because two types (one flowering and one fruiting) were designated.The name is validated here, with the fruiting specimen designated as the holotype.
