Initial Editorial Comments indicated only for California in Kartesz & Meacham; not in Gray Card Index; in no way mentioned in Abrams & Ferris, Illustrated Flora of the Pacific States, Munz, Munz Supplement, The Jepson Manual [Ed. 1]; Matricaria globifera (Thunb.) Fenzl ex Harv.listed as synonym in Kartesz & Meacham, in no way mentioned in AF, Munz, Munz Supplement, The Jepson Manual [Ed. 1]; according to Source b, in California naturalized outside of wildlands, yet occurrences cited include those that evidently qualify for inclusion in the flora according to criteria employed by Jepson Flora Project (11 Feb 2003).
Variant Spelling Oncosiphon piluliferum
Correspondence and Comments Subsequent to Initial Analysis
Correspondence 1 30 Jul 2002 e-mail from John Strother see Comment 1
Editorial Comments 1 Correspondence 1 indicates that Matricaria globifera possibly is being treated as Oncosiphon piluliferum (L. f.) Kallersjo in Flora North America. [Madrono 43:528. 1996 first report of Matricaria globifera (Thunb.) Fenzl for North America and CA, "well established and common" at Lake Perris, Riverside Co., native to southern Africa, one of the cited collections (Kummer) determined by John Strother.]
Correspondence 2 12 Feb 2007 e-mail from David J. Keil to Margriet Wetherwax, including comments on numerous genera to be submitted by Keil for The Jepson Manual [Ed. 2] see Comment 2
Editorial Comments 2 Correspondence 2 indicates that David J. Keil (Family Editor for Asteraceae and Author of genus in The Jepson Manual [Ed. 2]) will treat Matricaria globifera as a synonym of Oncosiphon piluliferum (L. f.) Källersjö.
Correspondence 3 24 Jul 2018 e-mail from Dieter Wilken see Comment 3
Editorial Comments 3 Correspondence 3 points out that generic compound names ending in "siphon" are to be treated as masculine, so that regardless of the fact the species epithet was originally published as "piluliferum", which would be the correct spelling if the genus were considered to be neuter, the correct spelling actually is "pilulifer"; that is, the masculine nominative ending for adjectives terminating in -ifer is -ifer, according to Stearn, Botanical Latin, p. 93, for "florifer". [Therefore, spelling of epithet corrected to "pilulifer", from "piluliferum" previously in this Index, 1 Aug 2018.]
