Editorial Comments 1 Correspondence 1 indicates that no vouchers have been located to support the statement "Escaping in CA" in the Duncan and Duncan reference, and that this taxon was not listed by Hrusa et al. in Madroño 49:61--98 (2002), so that it is considered not be be naturalized [or, evidently, even escaped from cultivation] in CA.
