The
name
Radermachera hainanensis
Merr.
was validly published with two gatherings “
McClure 7648
” and “
Hongkong
Herbarium 453
” cited in the protologue (
Merrill
, 1922a
), but no
holotype
was designated.
However
, the collecting number on the label of the
syntype
specimen of “
McClure 7648
” in
A
is actually 1143, while its herbarium number is 7648. Thus, the collecting number citation in the protologue is erroneous.
