Crataegus integrifolia
Roxburgh (1832a)
referred to Hardwicke’s unnamed
Crataegus
in describing this species.
Klotz (1963)
transferred the species to
Cotoneaster
. With reference to typification (‘Das Typenexemplar dieser Sippe konnte ich noch nicht prüfen; es müsste sich im Herbar Roxburghs befinden. Falls dort kein Typus von
Crataegus integrifolia
ist, kann Wallich no. 662 B als
Lectotypus
benutzt werden.’), Klotz failed to realise that a specimen suggested as a possible
lectotype
(K-W 662B), was, in fact, a Roxburgh specimen and has a ticket bearing Roxburgh’s species name in his own hand.
Kumar & Panigrahi (1995)
effectively chose a probable duplicate specimen in the Calcutta herbarium as
lectotype
.
