Correspondence and Comments Subsequent to Initial Analysis
Correspondence 1 24 Oct 2003 e-mail from Jeff Greenhouse see Comment 1
Editorial Comments 1 Correspondence 1 indicates that this combination was published by R. Pilger (Pilg. in Authors of Plant Names) in A. Engler [Engl. in Authors of Plant Names], Bot. Jahrb. Syst. 40:82 (1907), based on Leptochloa plectostachya published by K. Schumann (K. Schum. in Authors of Plant Names) in Pflanzenw. Ost-Afrikas C:112 (1895); and that the original The Jepson Manual [Ed. 1] ms correctly cited (K. Schum.) Pilg. in Engl. [Author citation corrected to Cynodon plectostachyus (K. Schum.) Pilg. in Engl., from Cynodon plectostachyus (K. Schum.) Englem. originally in The Jepson Manual [Ed. 1] and this Index, 24 Oct 2003; author citation shortened to Cynodon plectostachyus (K. Schum.) Pilg., from Cynodon plectostachyus (K. Schum.) Pilg. in Engl. previously in this Index, 13 Dec 2004, based on pers. comm. from Jeff Greenhouse, who pointed out that such designations as "in Engl." are not included in the main entry in this Index, even though it is not incorrect to do so from a nomenclatural perspective.]
Correspondence 2 Treatment and author notes submitted for The Jepson Manual [Ed. 2] see Comment 2
Editorial Comments 2 Correspondence 2 indicates, in a note under the genus, for Cynodon plectostachyus (K. Schum.) Pilg., "occ reported, not naturalized." [Although it is not explicitly stated, it is assumed that the plants have been "occ reported" as waifs, since they are specifically said to be "not naturalized", so that a Current Status if Jepson Flora Project-3 is appropriate, at least until information to the contrary is made available.]
