Correspondence and Comments Subsequent to Initial Analysis
Correspondence 1 17 Mar 2004 e-mail from Richard Moe see Comment 1
Editorial Comments 1 Correspondence 1 indicates that Ihsan Al-Shehbaz, The Jepson Manual [Ed. 2] Author of Alyssum, is in the herbarium, annotating specimens heretofore filed as Alyssum minus var. micranthum as Alyssum simplex.
Correspondence 2 17 Mar 2004 pers. comm. from Ihsan Al-Shehbaz see Comment 2
Editorial Comments 2 Correspondence 2 indicates that the combination Alyssum minus (L.) Rothm. (Repert. Sp. Nov. Regni Veg. 50: 77. 1941) is based on the nomen nudum Clypeola minus L. and therefore is illegitimate, and that the earliest valid and legitimate name for this species is Alyssum simplex Rudolphi.
Correspondence 3 Treatment and author notes submitted for The Jepson Manual [Ed. 2] see Comment 3
Editorial Comments 3 Correspondence 3 indicates that for The Jepson Manual [Ed. 2] Alyssum minus (L.) Rothm. subsp. micranthum (C. A. Mey.) Breistr. as well as Alyssum minus (L.) Rothm. var. micranthum (C. A. Mey.) T. R. Dudley are to be treated as synonyms of Alyssum simplex Rudolph.
