Correspondence and Comments Subsequent to Initial Analysis
Correspondence 1 30 Jan 2007 e-mail from Jeff Greenhouse see Comment 1
Editorial Comments 1 Correspondence 1 indicates: that Leontodon taraxacoides as applied to California plants was published by Mérat (= Authors of Plant Names) in Annales des Sciences Naturelles (Paris) 22:108 (1831), wherein Mérat ascribed the name to "Willd." but gave a short description of his own; that Mérat did not refer to the presumed basionym Hyoseris taraxacoides Vill. but nevertheless his name was validly published according to Art. 33.2 in ICBN 2000 (St. Louis Code.); and that according to International Plant Names Index-Index Kewensis and The Jepson Manual [Ed. 2] author Kenton L. Chambers, Leontodon taraxacoides (Vill.) Willd. ex Mérat is an illegitimate later homonym of Leontodon taraxacoides Hoppe & Hornsch. (Deutschl. Fl. (Sturm), Abt. I, Phanerog. Band 11(Heft 41): [unnumbered text & plate?]. 1821), and that the replacement name to be used in The Jepson Manual [Ed. 2] is Leontodon saxatilis Lam. (Flore Françoise, ou Descriptions Succinctes de Toutes les Plantes qui Croissent Naturellement en France...Paris 2:115. 1779 [dt. 1778; publ. post 21 Mar 1779]). [Therefore, author citation expanded to Leontodon taraxacoides (Vill.) Willd. ex Mérat, from Leontodon taraxacoides (Vill.) Mérat previously in this Index, 7 Feb 2007, despite the fact that the name is a later homonym and therefore illegitimate, being replaced for The Jepson Manual [Ed. 2] by Leontodon saxatilis Lam..]
