Abstract:
Parnassia yunnanensis had been previously described based on mixed specimens containing materials partially belonging to Parnassia cacuminum, which makes the application of Parnassia yunnanensis ambiguous. Therefore, we lectotypified Parnassia yunnanensis and meanwhile synonymized Parnassia lanceolata var. oblongipetala under it. Parnassia yunnanensis var. longistipitata was found more similar to Parnassia cacuminum rather than Parnassia yunnanensis, thus a new combination, Parnassia cacuminum var. longistipitata comb. nov. was proposed. Furthermore, other three names (Parnassia vevusta, Parnassia degeensis and Parnassia kangdingensis) were reduced to synonyms of Parnassia cacuminum too.

Nomenclature of Aromatic Compounds with Multiple Substituents
For disubstituted benzene derivatives, with two groups attached to the benzene ring, three constitutional isomers are possible. For example, consider dimethyl benzene, often called xylene, where the second methyl group can be substituted at the second, third, or fourth carbon. The relative position of the substituents is represented by prefixes ortho, meta, or...
