Ilex maclurei Merr. ( Aquifoliaceae ) in Lingnan Sci. J. 13(1): 35. 1934 . TYPE:— CHINA . Guangdong , Lim Kong (i.e. Lianjiang), 6 January 1932 , F. A. McClure 00643 (i.e. Lingnan University Herbarium 19822) ( holotype : NY 00022460 image!; isotype: A 00049496 image!). The name Ilex maclurei Merr. was validly published with a single gathering “ McClure 19822 ” in NY cited in the protologue ( Merrill, 1934a ). However, on the label of the holotype specimen, the collecting number is 00643 and the herbarium number is Lingnan University Herbarium 19822. Therefore, the erroneous collecting number in the protologue is to be corrected.
