27. Grewia chungii Merr. View in CoL View at ENA

(Tiliaceae) in Philipp. J. Sci. 23(3): 252. 1923. TYPE:— CHINA. Hainan: Wuzhishan, Wuzhi Shan, 21 April 1922, F. A. McClure 2639 (i.e. Canton Christian College Herbarium 9197) (syntype: PNH, destroyed, A 00052309 image!, A 00052310 image!, NY 00415410 image!).

The name Grewia chungii Merr. was validly published with a gathering “ McClure 9197 ” designated as the type ( Merrill, 1923). However, on the label of the syntype specimen ( A 00052310 ) exists in A, the collecting number is 2639 and the herbarium number is Canton Christian College Herbarium 9197. Therefore, the erroneous collecting number in the designation of type is to be corrected.
