Notes

Some authors like Nazimuddin & Qaiser (1989: 87) and Tropicos obviously cite Hooker's protologue, but he does not specify any collection number of the Falconer's specimen. Winkler (1922: 156) claims that it is 521 and Falconer's 'type specimen' collected in Kulu[Kullu Valley] is stored in K (K000031818(GBIF, JSTOR)) today, but under the number 4015.
