17. Saprosma hainanensis Merr. View in CoL ( Rubiaceae ) in Lingnan Sci. J. 9(1-2): 44. 1930. TYPE:— CHINA. Hainan: Danzhou , 28 May 1928, W. T. Tsang 560 (i.e. Lingnan University Herbarium 17309) (holotype: UC 373860 image!; isotypes: A 00094423 image!, NY 00133277 image!).

Tsang Wai Tak 17309 (UC) was the only gathering cited in the protologue of the name Saprosma hainanensis Merr. (Merrill, 1930). However, the collection number on the label of the holotype specimen is 560, while its herbarium number is Lingnan University Herbarium 17309. Thus, the erroneous collection number cited in the protologue is to be corrected.
