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 .
