Can someone tell me what a "Hookeri" is?


Asking what a Hookeri is is like asking what a Japonica is, except that
Japonica does have some currency for Cydonia japonica.

There were two leading 19th Century botanists, father and son, named
Hooker, and lots of plant species were named in honour of them.
Consequently there's several hundred species named somethingorother
hookeri. See URL following.

(Plus a few more named hookeriana or hookerianum.)

Then again, Hookeri could be a reference to Hookera (a synonym of
Brodiaea), Hookerara (an intrageneric orchid hybrid), Hookerella (a
synomym of Loranthus, which I my memory serves me correctly is a
mistletoe) or Hookerina (a synonym of Hydrothrix, whatever than might
be).

More context required.
