Abstract

Revision and collation of Chinese type specimens from the Harvard University Herbaria and the William and Lynda Steere Herbarium of New York Botanical Garden led to the discovery of errors in the designation of type specimens in the protologues of several taxa names. Following the Article 9.2 of the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (Shenzhen Code, 2018), the typographical errors of collecting number in the protologues of 64 taxa from China were corrected.
