Dear Garg ji It has to be Hook. and not Raf. Hooker's publication is dated 1824, where as Rafin's 1840.
If Rafin's plant is same as Hooker's, it is of no consequence, better to forget it. Alternately if his plant is different, the name can't be used being a later homonym Potentilla nepalensis Hook., is alright ENJOY HAPPY DIWALI Dr. Gurcharan Singh Associate Professor SGTB Khalsa College University of Delhi, Delhi India http://people.du.ac.in/~singhg45 ----- Original Message ----- From: J.M.
