Correspondence and Comments Subsequent to Initial Analysis
Correspondence 1 8 Apr 2003 e-mail from Jeff Greenhouse see Comment 1
Editorial Comments 1 Correspondence 1 indicates that the Hitchcock reference cited by Kartesz & Meacham doesn't include this combination, that the Harlan publishing grass names in the 20th century is J. R. Harlan, and that the author citation for Monogr. Syst. Bot. Missouri Bot. Gard. 45: 1258. 1993 is (Desv.) de Wet & J. R. Harlan ex Davidse. [Author citation corrected to Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench subsp. arundinaceum (Desv.) de Wet & J. R. Harlan ex Davidse, from Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench subsp. arundinaceum (Desv.) de Wet & Harlan previously in this Index, 28 Apr 2003]
Correspondence 2 Treatment and author notes submitted for The Jepson Manual [Ed. 2] see Comment 2
Editorial Comments 2 Correspondence 2 evidently does not address Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench subsp. arundinaceum (Desv.) de Wet & J. R. Harlan ex Davidse.
