Correspondence and Comments Subsequent to Initial Analysis
Correspondence 1 Treatment and author notes submitted for The Jepson Manual [Ed. 2] see Comment 1
Editorial Comments 1 Correspondence 1 indicates that for The Jepson Manual [Ed. 2] Lactuca sativa L. is to be treated, in a note under the genus, as an occasional escape from gardens that does not persist. [That it was not included in the key indicates that the author considers it an historical waif in CA, which is essentially consistent with records in CCH.]
