22. Eurya ciliata Merr. View in CoL View at ENA ( Theaceae ) in Philip. J. Sci. 23(3): 253. 1923. TYPE:— CHINA. Hainan: Wuzhishan, Wuzhi Shan, 28 April 1922, F. A. McClure 2762 (i.e. Canton Christian College 9319) (syntype: PNH, destroyed, A 00024788 image!, A 00024789 image!).

The name Eurya ciliata Merr. was validly published with a single gathering “ McClure 9319 ” cited in the protologue (Merrill, 1923).

However, on the label of the syntype specimen ( A 00024789 ), the collecting number is 2762 and the herbarium number is Canton Christian College Herbarium 9319. Therefore, the erroneous collecting number in the protologue is to be corrected .
