Antidesma hainanensis Merr. ( Euphorbiaceae ) in Philipp. J. Sci. 21(4): 347. 1922 . TYPE:— CHINA . Hainan : Wuzhishan , Five Finger Mt. (i.e. Wuzhi Shan), alt. 700 m , 20 December 1921 , F. A. McClure 2113 (i.e. Canton Christian College Herbarium 8702) ( syntype : PNH, destroyed, A 00045626 image!, A 00045627 image!). McClure 8702 was the only gathering cited in the protologue of the name Antidesma hainanensis Merr. ( Merrill, 1922a ). However, the collecting number on the label of the syntype specimen ( A 00045626 ) exists in A is 2113, while the herbarium number is Canton Christian College Herbarium 8702. Thus, the collecting number cited in the protologue is to be corrected.
