Correspondence and Comments Subsequent to Initial Analysis
Correspondence 1 9 Nov 2007 e-mail from Jeff Greenhouse see Comment 1
Editorial Comments 1 Correspondence 1 indicates: that Hibiscus lasiocarpos was published by Cavanilles (Cav. in Authors of Plant Names) in Dissertatio botanica 3:159--160, pl. 70, f. 1 (1787), with the original spelling "lasiocarpos"; that a footnote explains that the epithet is based on two Greek words, lasios (hairy) and carpos (fruit); and that, as further indication that the spelling is not a typographical error, the same spelling is used on p. 184 in the caption for plate 70. [Therefore, spelling of epithet corrected to Hibiscus lasiocarpos Cav., from Hibiscus lasiocarpus Cav. previously in this Index, 19 Nov 2007.]
