The botanical legacy of Thomas Hardwicke’s journey to Srinagar in 1796 Author Turner, Ian M. text European Journal of Taxonomy 2015 2015-01-06 108 1 25 journal article 22437 10.5852/ejt.2015.108 41d54399-b903-4b22-afab-dec75fdf804f 2118-9773 3779322 Terminalia alata-glabra Hardwicke’s description is brief. “ Terminalia Alata-glabra . — Grows to a very lofty tree in the vallies of these mountains. Stem streight, and clear from branches to a great height. The characters given to the genus Chuncoa , in Gmelin’s edition of the Systema Naturae, agree well with this plant.” Fig. 4. Lectotype of Linum trigynum Roxb. ex Hardw., Hardwicke, Plants of India Vol. XVI (Add MS 11025): drawing no. 2. Reproduced with permission of the British Library Board. Gmelin’s description of Chuncoa cannot be cited to validate a species name as it refers to a genus (ICN Art. 38.11(c), McNeill et al. 2012 ). The remaining descriptive statement does not seem adequate to validate the name.
