Correspondence and Comments Subsequent to Initial Analysis
Correspondence 1 5 Nov 2007 e-mail from Jeff Greenhouse see Comment 1
Editorial Comments 1 Correspondence 1 indicates that Carpobrotus edulis was published by N.E. Brown (N.E. Br. in Authors of Plant Names) in The Genera of South African Flowering Plants 249. 1926, and that Kanchi Gandhi's 23 Sep 2006 explanatory remarks in the International Plant Names Index-Gray Card Index entry state: "N. E. Brown referred to the basionym indirectly (p. 241, nr. 2405 Mesembryanthemum: 'until recently the following genera have all been included under the one genus Mesembryanthemum'); Bolus (Fl. Pl. S. Afr. 7: ad t. 247. 1927) also made this comb. nov. (isonym)", so that the correct citation is (L.) N.E. Br., as indicated in this Index. Correspondence 1 also indicates that epithet of the The Jepson Manual [Ed. 1]1 synonym should be spelled "edule" to agree with the neuter gender of the genus name.[Therefore, spelling of epithet of The Jepson Manual [Ed. 1] synonym corrected to Mesembryanthemum edule L., from Mesembryanthemum edulis L. previously in this Index, 8 Nov 2007; author citation correct as indicated in this Index, 8 Nov 2007.]
