Erratum: Validation of the Name Paraphlomis hispida (Lamiaceae) (Novon (2017) 25 (436-437) DOI: 10.3417/D-16-00022)

The name Paraphlomis hispida C. Y. Wu (Lamiaceae) was not initially validly published due to the author's failure to select a single type. Lin et al. published a validation of this name in Novon, Vol. 25 (2017: 436-437), designating C. W. Wang 83872 (PE) as the holotype. It has since come to those authors- attention that two earlier authors, Xiang and Peng, in Bangladesh J. Pl. Taxon. 15: 73-74, had already validated that name in 2008, likewise ascribing it solely to C. Y. Wu but designating C. W. Wang 85447 (KUN) as the holotype. The intended validation by Lin et al. is therefore superfluous, and the specimen selected by Xiang and Peng is the correct type.
