Correspondence 2 22 Aug 2022 e-mail from Bruce Baldwin, including forwarded e-mail from Dave Keil see Comment 2
Editorial Comments 2 Correspondence 2 indicates that, according to Govaerts (Skvortsovia: 4(3): 74 –99 (2018), Acmispon heermannii (Durand & Hilg.) Brouillet var. heermannii is superfluous in that Hosackia tomentosa Hook. & Arn. (1832), which was listed in synonymy, is earlier than Hosackia heermanii (1855) and therefore has priority over that name, so that the epithet "tomentosa" should have been used, as Govaerts did in publishing Acmispon tomentosus (Hook. & Arn.) Govaerts, as well as Acmispon tomentosus (Hook. & Arn.) Govaerts var. glabriusculus (Hook. & Arn.) Govaerts for the superfluous name Acmispon heermannii (Durand & Hilg.) Brouillet var. heermannii. [Therefore, Current Name corrected to Acmispon tomentosus (Hook. & Arn.) Govaerts var. glabriusculus (Hook. & Arn.) Govaerts, from Acmispon heermannii (Durand & Hilg.) Brouillet var. heermannii previously in this Index, 23 Aug 2022.]
