26. Gomphandra hainanensis Merr.

(Icacinaceae) in Philipp. J. Sci. 21(4): 348. 1922. TYPE:— CHINA. Hainan: Wuzhishan, Five Finger Mt (i.e. Wuzhi Shan), alt. 700 m, 20 December 1921, F. A. McClure 2114 (i.e. Canton Christian College Herbarium 8546) (syntype: PNH, destroyed, A 00050316 image!, A 00050317 image!).

The name Gomphandra hainanensis Merr. was validly published with a single gathering “ McClure 8546 ” cited in the protologue (Merrill, 1922a). However, on the label of the syntype specimen (A 00050317), the collecting number is 2114 and the herbarium number is Canton Christian College Herbarium 8546. Therefore, the erroneous collecting number in the protologue is to be corrected.
