Eurya ciliata Merr. ( Theaceae ) in Philip. J. Sci. 23(3): 253. 1923 . TYPE:— CHINA . Hainan : Wuzhishan , Wuzhi Shan , 28 April 1922 , F. A. McClure 2762 (i.e. Canton Christian College 9319) ( syntype : PNH, destroyed, A 00024788 image!, A 00024789 image!). The name Eurya ciliata Merr. was validly published with a single gathering “ McClure 9319 ” cited in the protologue ( Merrill, 1923 ). However, on the label of the syntype specimen ( A 00024789 ), the collecting number is 2762 and the herbarium number is Canton Christian College Herbarium 9319. Therefore, the erroneous collecting number in the protologue is to be corrected.
