Cleistanthus saichikii Merr. ( Euphorbiaceae ) in Philipp. J. Sci. 23(3): 248. 1923 .TYPE:— CHINA . Hainan : Fan Ta , 18 April 1922 , F. A. McClure 2590 (i.e. Canton Christian College Herbarium 9148) ( syntype : PNH, destroyed, A 00045975 image!, A 00045976 image!). McClure 9148 was the only gathering cited in the protologue of the name Cleistanthus saichikii Merr. ( Merrill, 1923 ). However, the collecting number on the label of the syntype specimen ( A 00045975 ) is 2590, while its herbarium number is Canton Christian College Herbarium 9148. Thus, the collecting number cited in the protologue is to be corrected.
