Author citations for new names published in volumes 1 through 3 of Flora Yunnanica

The authors citation for family treatments and the correct author citation for new names in volumes 1 through 3 of the 21-volume Flora Yunnanica was not adequately explained at the time of publication. Although this information and the role of Wu Zhengyi (C.Y. Wu) is explained in later volumes, some of this information is only given in Chinese. As it is necessary to know this information when using these new names in subsequent publications, an account of the correct authorship of all new names in volumes 1-3 of Flora Yunnanica is provided here.
