Correspondence and Comments Subsequent to Initial Analysis
Correspondence 1 26 Jul 2005 e-mail from Jeff Greenhouse see Comment 1
Editorial Comments 1 Correspondence 1 indicates that Ipomoea indica was published by E. D. Merrill (Merr. in Authors of Plant Names) in An Interpretation of Rumphius's Herbarium Amboinense 445--446 (1917), based on Convolvulus indicus published by Johannes Burman (Burm. in Authors of Plant Names [Burm. f. in Authors of Plant Names is Nicolaas Laurens Burman]) in Herbarii Amboinensis Auctuarium 7 (Index Universalis): 6. (1755). [Therefore, author citation corrected to Ipomoea indica (Burm.) Merr., from Ipomoea indica (Burm. f.) Merr. previously in this Index, 12 Aug 2005.]
Correspondence 2 Treatment submitted for The Jepson Manual [Ed. 2] by Daniel F. Austin see Comment 2
