Species treated in Flora Reipublicae Popularis Sinicae(FRPS) but not in FOC are listed at the end of the genus to which they belong, and genera treated in FRPSbut not in FOC are given at the end of the family. Some highly variable species are illustrated more thanonce because they were treated as independent taxa in FRPS but were reduced to synonymy in FOC.Names of recognized taxa are in boldface, and author names follow FOC. Each recognized taxon isfollowed by its Chinese name and the pinyin transliteration of that name. Page numbers for the descriptionsin FOC and for the figure number, volume number, and year of publication of the FRPS volume, as well asnames of artists, are listed in parentheses at the end of each caption. For compound figures illustratingseveral taxa, the range of FOC page numbers is given instead of listing the page number for each illustratedtaxon.Indexes to figure numbers are given for the Chinese names, their pinyin transliterations, and thescientific names.
