Casearia villilimba Merr. ( Flacourtiaceae ) in Philipp. J. Sci. 23(3): 254. 1923 . TYPE:— CHINA . Hainan : Nodoa (i.e. Danzhou), alt. 450 m , 28 April 1922 , F. A. McClure 2769 (i.e. Canton Christian College Herbarium 9326) ( syntype : PNH, destroyed, A 00066487 image!, A 00066488 image!, NY 00107378 image!). The name Casearia villilimba Merr. was validly published with a gathering “ McClure 9326 ” designated as the type ( Merrill, 1932 ). However, the collecting number on the lable of the syntype specimen ( A 00066487 ) is 2769, while its herbarium number is Canton Christian College Herbarium 9326. Therefore, the erroneous collecting number in the designation of type is to be corrected.
