Editorial Comments 3 Correspondence 3 indicates that David Keil, co-author of Centaurea in The Jepson Manual [Ed. 1], now recognizes Amberboa as distinct from Centaurea, so that he now recognizes Centaurea moschata L. as Amberboa moschata (L.) DC., citing Susanna, A., N. G. Jacas, D. E. Soltis, and P. S. Soltis. 1995. Phylogenetic relationships in tribe Cardueae (Asteraceae) based on ITS sequences. Amer. J. Bot. 82: 1056--1068. [Therefore, this is a new name for a taxon treated as a possible waif in California in The Jepson Manual [Ed. 1].]
Correspondence 4 12 Feb 2007 e-mail from David J. Keil to Margriet Wetherwax, including comments on numerous genera to be submitted by Keil for The Jepson Manual [Ed. 2] see Comment 4
Editorial Comments 4 Correspondence 4 indicates that, according to David J. Keil (Author of genus for The Jepson Manual [Ed. 2]), Amberboa moschata (L.) DC. should be treated either as cultivated only or as a waif, escaped from cultivation, and that there are no consortium records.
