Correspondence and Comments Subsequent to Initial Analysis
Correspondence 1 30 Oct 2004 e-mail from Richard Moe see Comment 1
Editorial Comments 1 Correspondence 1 indicates that Chenopodium capitatum var. capitatum and Chenopodium capitatum var. parvicapitatum are among names returned in a search of Flora North America for taxa reported for California currently not found in this Index. [Chenopodium capitatum recognized in Flora North America treatment of Chenopodium by Steven E. Clemants (The Jepson Manual [Ed. 2] Author) & Sergei L. Mosyakin.]
Correspondence 2 8 Jun 2007 e-mail from Jeff Greenhouse see Comment 2
Editorial Comments 2 Correspondence 2indicates that The Jepson Manual [Ed. 2] author and Flora North America co-author Steven E. Clemants and TROPICOS give author citation as (L.) Ambrosi (Flora del Tirolo Meridionale 2: 180. 1857). [Therefore, author citation uncertain.]
Correspondence 3 11 Jan 2010 e-mail from Jeff Greenhouse see Comment 3
Editorial Comments 3 Correspondence 3 indicates that Chenopodium capitatum was published seven years before Ascherson by Francesco Ambrosi (Ambrosi in Authors of Plant Names) in Flora del Tirolo Meridionale 2:180 (1857), based on Blitum capitatum L. (Species Plantarum 1:4. 1753). [Therefore, author citation corrected to Chenopodium capitatum (L.) Ambrosi, from Chenopodium capitatum (L.) Asch. previously in this Index, 16 Dec 2010.]
Correspondence 4 Treatment and author notes submitted for The Jepson Manual [Ed. 2] see Comment 4
Editorial Comments 4 Correspondence 4 indicates, without discussion, that for The Jepson Manual [Ed. 2], in California Chenopodium capitatum (L.) Ambrosi var. capitatum is to be treated as naturalized, whereas Chenopodium capitatum (L.) Ambrosi var. parvicapitatum S. L. Welsh is to be treated as native. [Therefore, in CA, as treated in The Jepson Manual [Ed. 2], Chenopodium capitatum (L.) Ambrosi is partially naturalized, and partially native.]
