Source of Report for California The Jepson Manual [Ed. 1]
Correspondence and Comments Subsequent to Initial Analysis
Correspondence 1 6 Dec 2002 e-mail from Jeff Greenhouse see Comment 1
Editorial Comments 1 Correspondence 1 indicates that, based on a report from Ann Francis as well as on two specimens in JEPS (JEPS68537, Modoc Co., 4500' = 1400 m; JEPS95575, Trinity Co., 4960' = 1550 m), the elevational range for this species is to be changed to < 1550 m, from < 1000 m originally in The Jepson Manual [Ed. 1].
Correspondence 2 30 Aug 2007 e-mail from Jeff Greenhouse see Comment 2
Editorial Comments 2 Correspondence 2 indicates that Distichlis spicata var. stricta (The Jepson Manual [Ed. 1] syn) was published by F. Lamson-Scribner (Scribn. in Authors of Plant Names) in Memoirs of the Torrey Botanical Club 5(4): 51. 1894, and that the Beetle publication (Bulletin of the Torrey Botanical Club 70(6): 645, f. 6. 1943) is an isonym. [Therefore, author citation of The Jepson Manual [Ed. 1] synonym corrected to Distichlis spicata var. stricta (Torr.) Scribn., from Distichlis spicata var. stricta (Torr.) Beetle previously in this Index, 20 Sep 2007.]
