Edgeworth Adenocaulon himalaicum M.P. Edgeworth, Transactions of the Linnean Society of London 20: 64. 1851. Type material. Himalaya in sylvis, 7000-9000 ft, between Nagkanda and Kotgurh [India, Himachal Pradesh], 1844, M.P. Edgeworth 15 [Holotype: K000250901!; Probable isotypes: K! K000250901, OXF* (OXF00005487, not yet available in JSTOR-GP)]. The printed label on the Holotype has a date of 1844, the OXF sheet has the handwritten date of Oct 1840, and the K isotype has no date. TL2 ( Stafleu and Cowan 1976 and Lanjouw and Stafleu 1957) indicated that an additional specimen maybe at G-DC (not found, pers . comm. Loze). Only the K specimen has a printed label with a date and a "collecting number" so these may have been added by Kew. Since dates on these older specimens are often mixed up it seems likely that the second K specimen and the OXF specimen are isotypes.
