Correspondence and Comments Subsequent to Initial Analysis
Correspondence 1 Treatment and author notes submitted for The Jepson Manual [Ed. 2] see Comment 1
Editorial Comments 1 Correspondence 1 indicates, in a note under the genus description of Euphorbia, that Euphorbia marginata Pursh occasionally persists from gardens but that records are lacking. [If it were an active waif with documentation, it should have been (but was not) partially treated in The Jepson Manual [Ed. 2] (i.e., included in key to members of genus but with description only online.]
