Correspondence and Comments Subsequent to Initial Analysis
Correspondence 1 31 Aug 2004 Interchange Feedback from John R. Hosking see Comment 1
Editorial Comments 1 Correspondence 1 indicates that Agapanthus praecox Willd. subsp. orientalis (F. M. Leight.) F. M. Leight., native to South Africa, is naturalized in the Blue Mountains to the west of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Correspondence 1 also indicates that this Agapanthus is recorded as naturalized elsewhere in Australia in Victoria and Western Australia (Conran in Walsh & Entwisle 1994, Hussey et al. 1997), as well as New Zealand (Healy & Edgar 1980), and that it would not be surprising to find that it is naturalized in CA.
