Correspondence 1 18 Aug 2008 e-mail from Jeff Greenhouse see Comment 1
Editorial Comments 1 Correspondence 1 indicates that Descurainia sophia was published in Engler & Prantl, Die Natürlichen Pflanzenfamilien 3(2):192 (1891), for which the author of Cruciferae was Prantl, who ascribed the name [but not the description] to Webb.
