Information from the Index of California Plant Names (ICPN)
Initial Editorial Analysis 8 Jul 2008
Source of Report for California Rosatti SMASCH notes: Taxon evidently not treated in The Jepson Manual [Ed. 1]; in type collection
Initial Editorial Comments treated as Congdonia pinetorum in Munz; in Munz Supplement, more or less excluded in that "R. Moran (Leaflets W. Bot. 6:62-63. 1950) expressed doubt as to whether this plant originally came from CA. The only collection known is the type at the University of California, for which evidence was presented that it may have come from Mexico, not CA. Furthermore, the name Congdonia was used earlier for a genus of Rubiaceae"; not treated in Kartesz & Meacham
Correspondence and Comments Subsequent to Initial Analysis
Correspondence 1 1 Dec 2004 e-mail from Misa Ward see Comment 1
Editorial Comments 1 Correspondence appended verbatim is pertinent to The Jepson Manual [Ed. 2] account: "Move to List 1B? Known only from the type collection from deserted Pine City above Mammoth. Not in The Jepson Manual. See University of California Publications in Botany 6:358 (1916) for original description, and Leaflets of Western Botany 6(3):62-63 (1950) for species account."
Correspondence 2 Treatment and author notes submitted for The Jepson Manual [Ed. 2] by Steve Boyd see Comment 2
Editorial Comments 2 Correspondence 2 indicates: that Congdonia pinetorum (Brandegee) Jeps. and Sedum pinetorum Brandegee are synonyms; that in the Crassulaceae book edited by Eggli (2003), a description is given for Sedum pinetorum (pp. 307-307) even though it is also stated that this taxon is "probably identical with" Sedum niveum; and, therefore, that for The Jepson Manual [Ed. 2] Sedum niveum is to be treated as native to CA, with Sedum pinetorum Brandegee and Congdonia pinetorum (Brandegee) Jeps. to be treated as syns, and with a note indicating that additional research is necessary to determine whether or not Sedum pinetorum is distinct from Sedum niveum, and if so, at what taxonomic level.
