(i.e. Lingnan University Herbarium 17891) (
holotype
:
NY 00133404
image!; isotype:

image!).
The
name
Tarenna tsangii
Merr.
was validly published with a gathering “
Tsang & Fung 17891
” in
NY
designated as the type (
Merrill, 1932
). However, the collecting number on the lable of the
holotype
specimen is 357, while its herbarium number is Lingnan University Herbarium 17891. Therefore, the erroneous collecting number in the designation of type is to be corrected.
