32. Hoya obscurinervia Merr.

(Asclepiadaceae) in Philipp. J. Sci. 23(3): 263. 1923. TYPE:— CHINA. Hainan: Danzhou, 15 April 1922, F. A. McClure 2558 (i.e. Canton Christian College Herbarium 9819) (syntype: PNH, destroyed, A 00076420 image!, A 00076421 image!).

The name Hoya obscurinervia Merr. was validly published with a single gathering “ McClure 9819 ” cited in the protologue (Merrill, 1923). However, on the label of the syntype specimen (A 00076421), the collecting number is 2558 and the herbarium number is Canton Christian College Herbarium 9819. Therefore, the erroneous collecting number in the protologue is to be corrected.
