Tsoongia axillariflora Merr. ( Verbenaceae ) in Philipp. J. Sci. 23(3): 264. 1923 . TYPE:— CHINA . Hainan : Yik Tsok Mau , 18 May 1922 , F. A. McClure 3143 (i.e. Canton Christian College Herbarium 9692) ( syntype : PNH, destroyed, A 00096029 image!, NY 00138149 image!). The name Tsoongia axillariflora Merr. was validly published with two specimens “ McClure 9692 ” and “ K . K . Tsoong 1908 ” cited in the protologue ( Merrill, 1923 ), but no holotype was designated. However, the collecting number on the label of the syntype specimen of “ McClure 9692 ” in A is actually 3143, while its herbarium number is 9692. Thus, the collecting number citation in the protologue is erroneous.
