Correspondence and Comments Subsequent to Initial Analysis
Correspondence 1 8 Oct 2003 e-mail from Jeff Greenhouse see Comment 1
Editorial Comments 1 Correspondence 1 indicates that Lawrence K. Magrath and Ronald A. Coleman (Flora North America 26:588--9. 2002) recognize two varieties, Listera cordata (L.) R. Br. var. cordata and Listera cordata (L.) R. Br. var. nephrophylla (Rydb.) Hultén (based on Listera nephrophylla Rydb.), indicating only the latter for CA, and noting "Taxonomists have differed about whether these two varieties deserve to be recognized. ... Further study of this species 'complex' is needed." [Therefore, Listera cordata (L.) R. Br. var. nephrophylla (Rydb.) Hultén, if recognized, would be included for CA.]
Correspondence 2 Treatment submitted for The Jepson Manual [Ed. 2] by Ronald A. Coleman & Lawrence K. Magrath see Comment 2
Editorial Comments 2 Correspondence 2 indicates that for The Jepson Manual [Ed. 2] infraspecific taxa are not to be recognized in Listera cordata, so that Listera cordata (L.) R. Br. var. nephrophylla (Rydb.) Hultén, as well as the basionym, Listera nephrophylla Rydb., are to be treated as syns.
