43. Mycetia oligodonta Merr. View in CoL

(Rubiaceae) in Lingnan Sci. J. 11(1): 56. 1932. TYPE:— CHINA. Hainan: Hongmao Shan, 25 July 1929, W. T. Tsang & H. Fung 571 (i.e. Lingnan University Herbarium 18105) (holotype: NY 00132320 image!; isotype: A 00096212 image!).

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.
