The name Sarcococca euphlebia Merr. was validly published with a gathering “ McClure 9589 ” designated as the type (Merrill, 1923). However, on the label of the syntype specimen exists in A, the collecting number is 3036 and the herbarium number is Canton Christian College Herbarium 9589. Therefore, the erroneous collecting number in the designation of type is to be corrected.
