Description

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.”

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.
