20. Eugenia hainanensis Merr. View in CoL

(Myrtaceae) in Philipp. J. Sci. 23(3): 255. 1923. TYPE:— CHINA. Hainan: Yik Tsok Mau, 19 May 1922, F. A. McClure 3186 (i.e. Canton Christian College Herbarium 9734) (syntype: PNH, destroyed, A 00068986 image!, A 00068987 image!, NY 00405064 image!).

Merrill (1923) validly published the name Eugenia hainanensis Merr. with only one gathering, McClure 9734, cited in the protologue. However, the collecting number on the label of the syntype specimen ( A 00068986 ) exists in A is 3186, while its herbarium number is Canton Christian College Herbarium 9734.Therefore, the erroneous collecting number is to be corrected.
