Correspondence and Comments Subsequent to Initial Analysis
Correspondence 1 16 May 2000 e-mail from Barbara Ertter see Comment 1
Editorial Comments 1 Correspondence 1 indicates Freesia alba, which has often been confused with Freesia refracta in older literature, and consequently in regional floras in North America, should be used for the species escaped in CA.
Correspondence 2 Treatment and author notes submitted for The Jepson Manual [Ed. 2] by Peter Goldblatt see Comment 2
Editorial Comments 2 Correspondence 2 indicates that for The Jepson Manual [Ed. 2] Freesia alba (G. L. Mey.) Gumbl. is to be treated as a waif in CA. [There are no records in CCH, and evidently no evidence that the plants are reproducing in any way.]
Correspondence 3 7 Apr 2011 e-mail from Peter Goldblatt, author of Freesia for The Jepson Manual [Ed. 2] see Comment 3
Editorial Comments 3 Correspondence 3 indicates that Freesia alba (G. L. Mey.) Gumbl. is to be treated as a synonym of Freesia leichtlinii Klatt subsp. alba (G.L.Mey.) J.C. Manning & Goldblatt.
