Castanopsis hainanensis Merr. ( Fagaceae ) in Philipp. J. Sci. 21(4): 340. 1922 . TYPE:— CHINA . Hainan : Nam Fung , Hong Ma Ts’un , alt. 400 m , 3 December 1921 , F. A. McClure 1796 (i.e. Canton Christian College Herbarium 8300) ( syntype : PNH, destroyed, A 00033829 image!, ECON 00135761 image!). The name Castanopsis hainanensis Merr. was validly published with a single gathering “ McClure 8300 ” cited in the protologue ( Merrill, 1922a ). However, on the label of the syntype specimen ( ECON 00135761 ), the collecting number is 1796 and the herbarium number is Canton Christian College Herbarium 8300. Therefore, the erroneous collecting number in the protologue is to be corrected.
