Dear friends,

murrayi in context of Arisaema murrayi is named for J A Murray, 18th century Swedish student of Linnaeus ... that was my belief, until one of my friends, Adittya Dharap corrected me that it would be Dr Murray, much associated with flora of Mahabaleshwar, a contemporary of Graham.

Searching internet for Dr Murray leads to Dr. John Murray (1809-1898), a surgeon with the Bengal Medical Service of East India Company ... also was into photography of Mughal architecture in India.
Cannot find any mention that he was present in Western Ghats.

Please give some idea about the Dr Murray in whose honour Arisaema murrayi was named.

Regards.
