Information from the Index of California Plant Names (ICPN)
Initial Editorial Analysis 26 Mar 2012
Source of Report for California Munz
Initial Editorial Comments treated as synonym of Oenothera dentata Cav. in Munz Southern California Flora (p. 130), which is treated a name that has been misapplied in California to plants belonging instead to Camissonia lacustris P. H. Raven and Camissonia strigulosa (Fisch. & C. A. Mey.) P. H. Raven in The Jepson Manual [Ed. 1], The Jepson Manual [Ed. 2].
Correspondence and Comments Subsequent to Initial Analysis
Correspondence 1 14 Aug 2012 e-mail from Richard Moe see Comment 1
Editorial Comments 1 Correspondence 1 indicates that the correct spelling of the epithet is "epilobioides" because that is how Greene spelled it in the protologue (Fl. Francis. 2: 216), and that because in the protologue the taxon is said to occur from Oregon to San Diego, and probably more importantly, because the name later was lectotypified by Raven with a specimen from Los Angeles, it is incorrect to say the taxon does not occur in CA. [Therefore, spelling of epithet corrected to Oenothera contorta Douglas var. epilobioides (Greene) Munz, from Oenothera contorta Douglas var. epiloboides (Greene) Munz previously in this Index, 20 Aug 2012.]
