17. Diospyros hainanensis Merr. View in CoL View at ENA

(Ebenaceae) in Philipp. J. Sci. 23(3): 258. 1923. TYPE:— CHINA. Hainan: Wuzhishan, Wuzhi Shan , alt. 1200 m, 16 December 1921, F. A. McClure 2033 (i.e. Canton Christian College Herbarium 8462) (syntype: PNH, destroyed, A 00010595 image!, A 00010597 image!, NY 00335026 image!).

The name Diospyros hainanensis Merr. was validly published with a gathering “ McClure 8462 ” designated as the type ( Merrill, 1923). However, on the label of the syntype specimen ( A 00010595 ) exists in A, the collecting number is 2033 and the herbarium number is Canton Christian College Herbarium 8462. Therefore, the erroneous collecting number in the designation of type is to be corrected.
