Remarks

Etymology: 'Named for Tse Tsun Yu, a prolific botanist who collected extensively in Yunnan and Sichuan, was a co-founder of the Kunming Institute of Botany, director of the Institute of Botany at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and an editor of the Flora Reipublicae Popularis Sinicae. This species commemorates his extensive contribution to botany in the region, but also to his collections of the types of this species which are the earliest known'.
