62. Tsoongia axillariflora Merr. View in CoL ( Verbenaceae ) in Philipp. J. Sci. 23(3): 264. 1923. TYPE:— CHINA. Hainan: Yik Tsok Mau, 18 May 1922, F. A. McClure 3143 (i.e. Canton Christian College Herbarium 9692) (syntype: PNH, destroyed, A 00096029 image!, NY 00138149 image!).

The name Tsoongia axillariflora Merr. was validly published with two specimens “ McClure 9692 ” and “ K. K. Tsoong 1908 ” cited in the protologue (Merrill, 1923), but no holotype was designated. However, the collecting number on the label of the syntype specimen of “ McClure 9692 ” in A is actually 3143, while its herbarium number is 9692. Thus, the collecting number citation in the protologue is erroneous .
