Correspondence 1 Jun 2000 pers. comm. from John L. Strother see Comment 1
Editorial Comments 1 Correspondence 1 indicates additional, unspecified collections.
Correspondence 2 11 Dec 2001 e-mail from Barrett Anderson see Comment 2
Editorial Comments 2 Correspondence 2 indicates H. T. Harvey collection from "Alviso RR tracks" [as cited under Comments] probably from Santa Clara Co., instead of Santa Barbara Co., and that the species is widespread and abundant, mostly in highly disturbed locations, in Contra Costa and Solano cos.
Correspondence 3 29 Sep 2004 Interchange Feedback from Barry Anderson see Comment 3
Editorial Comments 3 Correspondence 3 indicates that three individuals of Dittrichia graveolens (L.) Greuter were found on a wetland mitigation site along Sierra College Boulevard near Highway 193 in Placer County on September 28, 2004, that they possibly were brought in by equipment constructing the mitigation wetlands two years before, that the plants were removed, and that the site was not thoroughly searched for more.
