Merrill cited only one gathering,
Sin Iu Nui 18412
(
NY
), in the protologue of
Bauhinia kwantungensis
Merr.
(
Merrill, 1934a
). However, the collector and the collecting number on the label of the
holotype
specimen is “Siu Iu Nin 103”, while the herbarium number is Lingnan University Herbarium 18412. Therefore, the collector and collecting number should be Siu Iu Nin 103 (i.e. Lingnan University Herbarium 18412).
