Correspondence and Comments Subsequent to Initial Analysis
Correspondence 1 9 Nov 2006 e-mail from Jeff Greenhouse see Comment 1
Editorial Comments 1 Correspondence 1 indicates that Juncus covillei var. obtusatus C.L. Hitchc. (Vascular Plants of the Pacific Northwest 1:193. 1969) was a nomen novum replacing Juncus obtusatus Engelm. (Transactions of the Academy of Science of St. Louis 2: 495. 1868), a later homonym of Juncus obtusatus Kit. (Linnaea 32:331. 1864). [Therefore, author citation corrected to Juncus covillei Piper var. obtusatus C. L. Hitchc., from Juncus covillei Piper var. obtusatus (Engelm.) C. L. Hitchc. previously in this Index, 13 Nov 2006.]
