3. Adinandra hainanensis Merr.

(Theaceae) in Philipp. J. Sci. 23(3): 252. 1923.

TYPE:— CHINA. Hainan: Wuzhishan, Wuzhi Shan, 13 May 1922, F. A. McClure 3018 (i.e. Canton Christian College Herbarium 9571) (syntype: PNH, destroyed, A 00024606 image!) .

Merrill (1923) validly published the name Adinandra hainanensis Merr. with only one gathering, McClure 9571, cited in the protologue. However, the collecting number on the label of the syntype specimen exists in A is 3018, while its herbarium number is Canton Christian College Herbarium 9571.Therefore, the erroneous collecting number is to be corrected.
