5. Alseodaphne hainanensis Merr.

(Lauraceae) in Lingnan Sci. J. 13 (1): 57. 1934.

TYPE:— CHINA. Hainan: Hongmao Shan, 25 August 1929, F. A. McClure & Fung 766 (i.e. Lingnan University Herbarium 18300) (holotype: NY 00354818 image!; isotype: A 00041131 image!) .

The name Alseodaphne hainanensis Merr. was validly published with a single gathering “ McClure & Fung 18300 ” in NY cited in the protologue (Merrill, 1934b). However, on the label of the holotype specimen, the collecting number is 766 and the herbarium number is Lingnan University Herbarium 18300. Therefore, the erroneous collecting number in the protologue is to be corrected.
