I'm curious to know the origin of hardwickii as in
Eublepharis hardwickii
Saara hardwickii
Gallinago hardwickii
Kerivoula hardwickii
...
Looks like said Hardwick(e) was around
in the 1820s [1] but we have not managed
to find out anything more about him/her.
Any information would be much appreciated by
the family genealogist.
