Editorial Comments 1 Correspondence 1 indicates that, based on DNA studies, Wendy Zomlefer and Walter Judd (Novon 12:299--308. 2002) have resurrected the genus Toxicoscordion for the species of Zigadenus occurring in CA, so that Toxicoscordion brevibracteatus (M.E. Jones) R.R. Gates would be used for this taxon [if this taxonomy is adopted by the Jepson Flora Project author].
