Strobilanthes maclurei
Merr.
(
Acanthaceae
) in Philipp. J. Sci. 21(4): 354. 1922. TYPE:—CHINA. Hainan:
Wuzhishan, Wuzhi Shan
, alt.
700 m
, 21 December 1921,
F. A. McClure 2143
(i.e. Canton Christian College Herbarium 8578) (syntype: PNH, destroyed, A 00094307 image!, NY 00278318 image!).
The name
Strobilanthes maclurei
Merr. was validly published with a single gathering “
McClure 8578
” cited in the protologue (
Merrill,
1922
a
).
However, on the label of the syntype specimen exists in A, the collecting number is
2143
and the herbarium number is
Canton Christian College Herbarium
8578
. Therefore, the erroneous collecting number in the protologue is to be corrected.
