48. Rhamnella hainanensis Merr. View in CoL

(Rhamnaceae) in Philipp. J. Sci. 21(4): 349. 1922. TYPE:— CHINA. Hainan: Wuzhishan, Fiver Finger Mt (i.e. Wuzhi Shan), alt. 800 m, 6 December 1921, F. A. McClure 1857 (i.e. Canton Christian College Herbarium 8358) (syntype: PNH, destroyed, A 00051374 image!, NY 00415013 image!).

Merrill (1922a) validly published the name Rhamnella hainanensi Merr. with only one gathering, McClure 8358, cited in the protologue. However, the collecting number on the label of the syntype specimen exists in A is 1857, while its herbarium number is Canton Christian College Herbarium 8358.Therefore, the erroneous collecting number is to be corrected.
