| Correspondence and Comments Subsequent to Initial Analysis | ||||||
| Correspondence 1 | Flora North America treatment by B. Eugene Wofford see Comment 1 | |||||
| Editorial Comments 1 | Correspondence 1 indicates that "Persea americana Miller, the avocado of commerce, with large, fleshy fruits and deciduous tepals, is widely grown in California and Florida. It may persist after cultivation." [The Jepson Manual [Ed. 2] treatment to be submitted by Henk van der Werff; because cultivated plants reportedly may persist after cultivation, and therefore be considered in that sense to have "escaped" cultivation, a Current Status of tentative "3, accepted name for taxon occurring in California only as a waif and/or garden escape, not naturalized " probably is more appropriate at present than "9, accepted name for plant occurring in California only under cultivation (e.g., as crop, ornamental, or experimental plant)".] | |||||
| Correspondence 2 | 27 Feb 2006 e-mail from Henk van der Werff to Staci Marcos see Comment 2 | |||||
| Editorial Comments 2 | Correspondence 2 indicates that Henk van der Werff will not treat Persea americana as naturalized in California in his treatment to be submitted for The Jepson Manual [Ed. 2]. | |||||
| Correspondence 3 | Treatment and author notes submitted for The Jepson Manual [Ed. 2] by Henk van der Werff see Comment 3 | |||||
