Lin, Yun, Bi, Hai-Yan, Sun, Jun & Sun, Qian, 2023, Correction of collecting number errors in the protologues of sixty-four taxon names from China, Phytotaxa 613 (3), pp. 261-270 : 266

32. Hoya obscurinervia Merr.

(Asclepiadaceae) in Philipp. J. Sci. 23(3): 263. 1923. TYPE:— CHINA. Hainan: Danzhou, 15 April 1922, F. A. McClure 2558 (i.e. Canton Christian College Herbarium 9819) (syntype: PNH, destroyed, A 00076420 image!, A 00076421 image!).

The name Hoya obscurinervia Merr. was validly published with a single gathering “ McClure 9819 ” cited in the protologue ( Merrill, 1923). However, on the label of the syntype specimen ( A 00076421 ), the collecting number is 2558 and the herbarium number is Canton Christian College Herbarium 9819. Therefore, the erroneous collecting number in the protologue is to be corrected.
