Abstract: A {it local antimagic labeling} of a connected graph G with at least three vertices, is a bijection f:E(G)ightarrow1,2,ldots,|E(G)| such that for any two adjacent vertices u and v of G, the condition omegaf(u)eqomegaf(v) holds; where omegaf(u)=sumxinN(u)f(xu). Assigning omegaf(u) to u for each vertex u in V(G), induces naturally a proper vertex coloring of G; and |f| denotes the number of colors appearing in this proper vertex coloring. The {it local antimagic chromatic number} of G, denoted by chila(G), is defined as the minimum of |f|, where f ranges over all local antimagic labelings of G. In this paper, we explicitely construct an infinite class of connected graphs G such that chila(G) can be arbitrarily large while , where is the join graph of G and the complement graph of K2. This fact leads to a counterexample to a theorem of [Local antimagic vertex coloring of a graph, {em Graphs and Combinatorics} {�f 33} (2017), 275--285].
