Correspondence 1 $ 8 Feb 2002, from Margriet Wetherwax see Comment 1
Editorial Comments 1 Correspondence 1, including e-mail from John O. Sawyer, The Jepson Manual [Ed. 1] author, confirms Current Status as 1a.
Correspondence 2 20 Mar 2007 e-mail from Jeff Greenhouse see Comment 2
Editorial Comments 2 Correspondence 2 indicates that Rhamnus occidentalis, the basionym of Frangula californica subsp. occidentalis and Rhamnus californica subsp. occidentalis, was published by Greene in Pittonia 2:15 (1889), wherein Greene ascribed the name to "Howell in herb.", referring to Thomas Jefferson Howell (Howell in Authors of Plant Names), but provided his own description. [Therefore, author citation corrected to Frangula californica (Eschsch.) A. Gray subsp. occidentalis (Howell ex Greene) Kartesz & Gandhi, from Frangula californica (Eschsch.) A. Gray subsp. occidentalis (Howell) Kartesz & Gandhi previously in this Index, 13 Apr 2007.]
