As far as I know, H. T. Colebrooke had nothing to do with botany, so I am removing the wikiproject plants box and the reference to the botanical abbreviation "Colebr." in the main article. Lotus (talk) 21:35, 27 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

He was a botanist as well. International Plant Names Index Author details and list of plants he authored. Not a very important (read: prolific) botanist, but one with a botanical abbreviation and important enough for inclusion in WP:PLANTS. Rkitko ^(talk) 00:23, 30 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
