Well, now that I know it was published in J. Asiat. Soc. Beng vol 71, I
was able to look up when some other volumes were published:
1880 vol. 49
1886 vol. 55
1889 vol. 58
1893 vol. 62
1901 vol. 70

Sooo, I'm guessing it was 1902 Thanks for your help.

Cheers,
Xi

Does anyone know when Den. signatum and regium were described? TIA



Hi Xi,

D. signatum was described by Reichenbach the son, in 1884, in the Gardeners'
Chronicles 1.306. Frequently found as in collections as D. hilderbrandii, which
is now a synonymon.

D. regium was described by David Prain (1857-1944) in Volume lxxi.80, Journal
Asiat. Soc. Beng. Sorry, unable to locate date of publication. Prain published
a number of articles relating to Indian plants and trees, during the 1880s,
upto 1904, or so.

Hope this helps some

Jerry
