Thanks a lot for these alerts Dr. Chadwell I have already procured holotype and original description, Hardy Geranium by Yeo I have already purchased and is on its Way. I am planning visit to Kashmir in coming summers, where my primary focus would be this group only. In the meantime I have this observation. Before publishing G. kashmirianum authors sent material to Dr. Yeo in I think 1983 or 1984, and got his observations and I hope nod for this new species. He published his own species in 1985 (and could not have mentioned about G. kashmirianum, which was published in 1986), and I can't think of him as publishing the same under his own name. Perhaps air will clear, once I get the book.
