Thanks a lo for the information. You have got a point there, why he didnt name the plant after Gamble but Fisher though he used Gamble's specimen. I think I got one answer.....strange one but may be true.
In 1946 he already named one for Gamble, i.e. Poa gamblei Bor 1948 (1): 144 (1948). ONE FOR EACH FUNDA you see..... HOW???? FOR ANSWER CHECK MY NEXT MAIL!!! He must be having good company of botanists in heaven :).....
