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 Morus serrata Roxb. Flora Indica 3: 596 (1832). — Neotype (designated here): India , [ Uttarakhand ], Kumaon , s.dat., R . Blinkworth s.n . [EIC 6468A] (K-W!). Zanthoxylum alatum The Flora Indica description of this plant ( Roxburgh 1832b ) makes direct reference to Hardwicke’s unnamed Zanthoxylum (as ‘Xanthoxylum’), of which there is a drawing in the Natural History Museum set (no. 39) and a similar pair in the British Library (Vol. XIV nos. 7 and 8). Roxburgh’s name, however, was cited by Wallich in his Numerical List , rendering it a superfluous, and illegitimate, renaming of Z. acanthopodium DC. Thus Roxburgh’s name becomes an illegitimate later homonym. Hartley (1966: 211) proposed Roxburgh icon 1916 as the lectotype of Z. alatum Roxb. but he did not state which set of drawings (Kew or Calcutta) he was referring to. I therefore clarify the issue by proposing the Kew copy below.
