Good question, Kaye!  No mention of AD in any of the lists shown in this thread : https://www.srgc.org.uk/forum/index.php?topic=5050.0

 I presume you've asked Rob Potterton?

Hi Maggi! Yes I did, he had no idea either and pointed me towards the forum. I think maybe this code has become muddled over time..

It had the same collection number back in 2005 (AD-862), there's a picture on Androsace World: http://www.alpines.be/androsaceworld/index.html

Maybe try contacting Jozef Lemmens? His email is listed on the web page.

Thinking it is more likely to be AC - for Alan Clark , who is listed as having collected in Arunachal Pradesh in 2004.

Thanks Maggi!  I think you're right, maybe the C has typo'd into a D over time.. I emailed Mr Lemmons but it bounced.

The original seeds were collected near the Afghanistan/Pakistan border by Dr. Alan Dunkley in 1994.
