(Buxaceae) in Philipp. J. Sci. 23(3): 249. 1923. TYPE:— CHINA. Hainan: Wuzhishan, Wuzhi Shan, 12 May 1922, F. A. McClure 3036 (i.e. Canton Christian College Herbarium 9589) (syntype: PNH, destroyed, A 00048977 image!).

The name Sarcococca euphlebia Merr. was validly published with a gathering “ McClure 9589 ” designated as the type ( Merrill, 1923). However, on the label of the syntype specimen exists in A, the collecting number is 3036 and the herbarium number is Canton Christian College Herbarium 9589.
