Rubus gowreephul View in CoL

Hardwicke described two Rubus species in his paper. One he referred to Rubus idaeus L., the other was not provided with a specific epithet, but he gave a native name – ‘gowry-phul’ – which translates as ‘claret-purple fruit’ according to Madden (1849). Roxburgh (1832a) was clearly referring to Hardwicke’s description of this plant in his account of Rubus gowreephul . He also wrote that Hardwicke introduced the plant to the Calcutta Botanic Garden. Roxburgh’s specific epithet was printed as two separate words in Flora Indica. I contract them to one as subsequent authors have. There is a Roxburgh icon of the plant, presumably drawn from material grown at Calcutta. Hardwicke also had a drawing (Vol. X no. 55).
