23. Evodia hainanensis Merr.

(Rutaceae) in Philipp. J. Sci. 21(4): 346. 1922. TYPE:— CHINA. Hainan: Wuzhishan, Wuzhi Shan, alt. 1000 m, 7 December 1921, F. A. McClure 1891 (i.e. Canton Christian College Herbarium 8449) (syntype: PNH, destroyed, A 00044060 image!, A 00105566 image!, ECON 00061246 image!).

Merrill (1922a) validly published the name Evodia hainanensis Merr. with only one gathering, McClure 8449, cited in the protologue. However, the collecting number on the labels of the syntype specimens is 1891, while the herbarium number is Canton Christian College Herbarium 8449. Therefore, the erroneous collecting number is to be corrected.
