Tsang & Fung 18038
(NY) was the only gathering cited inthe protologue of the name
Mucuna castanea
Merr.
(
Merrill, 1932
). However, the collecting number on the labels of the
type
specimens is 504, while its herbarium number is Lingnan University Herbarium 18038. Thus, the collecting number cited in the protologue is to be corrected.
