Correspondence and Comments Subsequent to Initial Analysis
Correspondence 1 9 Feb 2007 e-mail from Jeff Greenhouse see Comment 1
Editorial Comments 1 Correspondence 1 indicates that Nemophila menziesii var. atomaria was published by Andreas Voss (Voss in Authors of Plant Names) in Vilmorin's Blumengærtnerei Beschreibung ..., ed. 3. 1:688 (1894), based on Nemophila atomaria Fisch. & C.A. Mey. (Index Seminum [St. Petersburg] 2:42. 1835), and that Chandler published the same combination in Botanical Gazette 34:104 (1902), eight years later and superfluously. [Therefore, author citation corrected to Nemophila menziesii Hook. & Arn. var. atomaria (Fisch. & C. A. Mey.) Voss, from Nemophila menziesii Hook. & Arn. var. atomaria (Fisch. & C. A. Mey.) Chandler previously in this Index, 21 Feb 2007.]
Correspondence 2 31 Jul 2014 e-mail from Bruce Baldwin, including forwarded e-mail from Dave Keil see Comment 2
Editorial Comments 2 Correspondence 2 indicates that, according to Keil, the description and photograph of the new species, Nemophila hoplandensis C.M. Barr, both match what is called Nemophila menziesii Hook. & Arn. var. atomaria (Fisch. & C. A. Mey.) Voss in The Jepson Manual [Ed. 2] (as well as The Jepson Manual [Ed. 1]), and that although evidence presented in the paper supports recognition of the taxon at the level of species, the name Nemophila atomaria Fisch. & C. A. Mey. evidently is available for it at that rank and is to be used.
Pending data Nemophila atomaria Fisch. & C. A. Mey. or Nemophila hoplandensis C.M. Bar may become the accepted name for Nemophila menziesii Hook. & Arn. var. atomaria (Fisch. & C. A. Mey.) Voss
