18. Schefflera discolor Merr. View in CoL ( Araliaceae ) in Lingnan Sci. J. 7: 318. 1929. TYPE:— CHINA. Guangdong: Cha Uen Shaan, Hoh Pa Tsz, 15 January 1925, F. A. McClure 1948 (i.e. Canton Christian College Herbarium 13773) (syntypes: UC 288271 image!, A 00072529 image!, NY 00169042 image!).

McClure 13773 was the only gathering cited in the protologue of the name Schefflera discolor Merr. (Merrill, 1929). However, the collection number on the label of the syntype specimen, UC 288271, is 1948, while the herbarium number is Canton Christian College Herbarium 13773. Therefore, the collection number cited in the protologue is to be corrected.
