12. Castanopsis hainanensis Merr.

(Fagaceae) in Philipp. J. Sci. 21(4): 340. 1922. TYPE:— CHINA. Hainan: Nam Fung, Hong Ma Ts’un, alt. 400 m, 3 December 1921, F. A. McClure 1796 (i.e. Canton Christian College Herbarium 8300) (syntype: PNH, destroyed, A 00033829 image!, ECON 00135761 image!).

The name Castanopsis hainanensis Merr. was validly published with a single gathering “ McClure 8300 ” cited in the protologue (Merrill, 1922a). However, on the label of the syntype specimen (ECON 00135761), the collecting number is 1796 and the herbarium number is Canton Christian College Herbarium 8300. Therefore, the erroneous collecting number in the protologue is to be corrected.
