McClure 9183
was the only gathering cited in the protologue of the name
Kopsia lancibracteolata
Merr.
(
Merrill, 1923
). However, the collecting number on the labels of the
syntype
specimens is 2625, while the herbarium number is Canton Christian College Herbarium 9183. Thus, the collecting number cited in the protologue is to be corrected.
