Abstract: We corrected the typographical errors in the protologues of six taxa in China. The holotype of Eritrichium confetiflorum W. T. Wang(Boraginaceae), incorrectly cited as C. Y. Yang 700422 in the protologue, is actually C. Y. Yang 700442. The holotype of Glochisocaryum kansuense W. T. Wang(Boraginaceae), incorrectly cited as K. T. Fu 1989 in the protologue in Chinese, is actually K. T. Fu 1489; the former collection belongs to Asparagus sichuanicus S. C. Chen & D. Q. Liu(Liliaceae). The holotype of Microula trichocarpa(Maxim.) Johnst. var. macrantha W. T. Wang(Boraginaceae), incorrectly cited as H. Li 70287 in the protologue, is actually H. Li 72087; the former collection belongs to Rhododendron edgarianum Rehder & Wilson(Ericaceae). The holotype of Rabdosia latifolia C. Y. Wu & H. W. Li(Lamiaceae), incorrectly cited as K. L. Chu 2049 in the protologue, is actually K. L. Chu 2046; the former collection belongs to Rosa caudata Baker(Rosaceae). The holotype of Ancylostemon humilis W. T. Wang(Gesneriaceae), incorrectly cited as G. H. Yang 59063 in the protologue, is actually G. H. Yang 59043; the former collection belongs to Betula fargesii Franch. (Betulaceae). The holotype of Thladiantha villosula Cogn. var. nigrita A. M. Lu & Z. Y. Zhang(Cucurbitaceae) was wrongly cited as K. M. Feng 3439 in the protologue, but actually is K. M. Feng 3429; the former collection belongs to Bupleurum rockii H. Wolff(Apiaceae).
