Ilex phanerophlebia Merr.

34. Ilex phanerophlebia Merr. (Aquifoliaceae) in Lingnan Sci. J. 13(1): 36. 1934. TYPE:— CHINA. Guangdong: Pok Lor (i.e. Boluo), 15 January 1931, Fung Hom A-566 (i.e. Lingnan University Herbarium 18971) (holotype: NY 00022454 image!; isotype: A 00049522 image!). The name Ilex phanerophlebia Merr. was validly published with a single gathering “ Fung Hom 18971 ” in NY cited in the protologue (Merrill, 1934a). However, on the label of the holotype specimen, the collecting number is A-566 and the herbarium number is Lingnan University Herbarium 18971. Therefore, the erroneous collecting number in the protologue is to be corrected.Published as part of Lin, Yun, Bi, Hai-Yan, Sun, Jun & Sun, Qian, 2023, Correction of collecting number errors in the protologues of sixty-four taxon names from China, pp. 271-282 in Phytotaxa 598 (4) on page 277, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.598.4.1, http://zenodo.org/record/798379
