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
