Correspondence and Comments Subsequent to Initial Analysis
Correspondence 1 $ 8 Feb 2002, from Margriet Wetherwax see Comment 1
Editorial Comments 1 Correspondence 1 indicates that Achnatherum papposum (Nees) Barkworth is illegitimate (citing Jacobs and Everett, Telopea 7(3):301. 1997), and that Mary E. Barkworth, The Jepson Manual [Ed. 1] author and author of this name, now recognizes this as Jarava plumosa (Spreng.) S.W. L. Jacobs & J. Everett, and does not believe the taxon, which evidently was collected [only?] from a crack in a sidewalk in Berkeley, has become naturalized. [There is no evidence that the taxon occurs outside of artificial or man-made conditions in CA, so therefore it cannot be considered even a waif in CA.]
Correspondence 2 Treatment and author notes submitted for The Jepson Manual [Ed. 2] see Comment 2
Editorial Comments 2 Correspondence 2 indicates, in a note under Stipa, that Stipa plumosa Trin., with Jarava plumosa (Spreng.) S. W. L. Jacobs & J. Everett as a syn, is included among a list of four taxa that are waifs in CA. [As an active waif, the taxon would have been included in the key to members of the genus, with a description only online; the fact that the taxon was not treated this way suggests that the author might have considered it to be an historical waif, or they may have had other reasons. It is also possible that the taxon in California is in fact only an agricultural, garden, or urban weed, as previously indicated in this Index. Finally, the author citations indicated for Jarava plumosa (Spreng.) S. W. L. Jacobs & J. Everett and Stipa plumosa Trin. indicate there is a problem here as well.]
