Our examination reveals that Blumea hunanensis may not belong to the Blumea genus as its phylliaries are not imbricate nor in 3-4 series. Further observations show that it is conspecific with Synotis nagensium in all fundamental characters, thus it is treated as a synonym of the latter.
Our examination of the type specimen of Blumea hunanensis shows that its phylliaries are not imbricate nor in 3-4 series, demonstrating that it may not belong to Blumea. Further examination of more specimens and in vivo observations show that B. hunanensis is conspecific with Synotis nagensium in all fundamental characters and thus is here treated as a synonym of the latter.
