(i.e. Lingnan University Herbarium 18105) (

The name
Mycetia oligodonta
Merr.
was validly published with a single gathering “
Tsang and Fung 18105
” in
NY
cited in the protologue (
Merrill, 1932
). However, on the label of the
holotype
specimen, the collecting number is 571 and the herbarium number is Lingnan University Herbarium 18105. Therefore, the erroneous collecting number in the protologue is to be corrected.
