22. Eurya ciliata Merr.

(Theaceae) in Philip. J. Sci. 23(3): 253. 1923. TYPE:— CHINA. Hainan: Wuzhishan, Wuzhi Shan, 28 April 1922, F. A. McClure 2762 (i.e. Canton Christian College 9319) (syntype: PNH, destroyed, A 00024788 image!, A 00024789 image!).

The name Eurya ciliata Merr. was validly published with a single gathering “ McClure 9319 ” cited in the protologue (Merrill, 1923). However, on the label of the syntype specimen (A 00024789), the collecting number is 2762 and the herbarium number is Canton Christian College Herbarium 9319. Therefore, the erroneous collecting number in the protologue is to be corrected.
