19. Erycibe myriantha Merr. View in CoL

(Convolvulaceae) in Lingnan Sci. J. 13(1): 70. 1934. TYPE:— CHINA. Hainan: Hongmao Shan, 22 July 1929, W. T. Tsang & H. Fung 555 (i.e. Lingnan University Herbarium 18089) (holotype: NY 00318957 image!; isotype: A 00054382 image!).

The name Erycibe myriantha Merr. was validly published with a single gathering “ Tsang & Fung 18089 ” in NY cited in the protologue ( Merrill, 1934b). However, on the label of the holotype specimen, the collecting number is 555 and the herbarium number is Lingnan University Herbarium 18089. Therefore, the erroneous collecting number in the protologue is to be corrected.
