Description

Gardenia tetrasperma

Hardwicke’s ‘ Gardenia 3’ appears to have been the sole basis of Roxburgh’s Gardenia tetrasperma (Roxburgh 1824). Britten (1906) recognised this and effectively lectotypified Roxburgh’s name to drawing no. 55 in the Natural History Museum set. There is a similar drawing in the British Library (Vol. VII no. 55). The accepted name is now considered to be Himalrandia tetrasperma.
