Source of Report for California The Jepson Manual [Ed. 1]
Correspondence and Comments Subsequent to Initial Analysis
Correspondence 1 15 Apr 2006 Interchange Feedback from Tom Chester see Comment 1
Editorial Comments 1 Correspondence 1 includes convincing evidence and argument that Lepidium strictum (S. Watson) Rattan is native to Chile and not native to CA.
Correspondence 2 15 Apr 2006 e-mail from Richard Moe to Tom Chester see Comment 2
Editorial Comments 2 Correspondence 2 indicates that, although this taxon was originally described from plants collected in California in the 1860's, there had been considerable agricultural communication between Chile and California before then, and that this wouldn't be the first time that a taxon was described initially from a place where it had become naturalized rather than from a place in which it was native.
Correspondence 3 Treatment and author notes submitted for The Jepson Manual [Ed. 2] see Comment 3
Editorial Comments 3 Correspondence 3 indicates, without explanation, that for The Jepson Manual [Ed. 2] Lepidium strictum (S. Watson) Rattan is to be treated as native to CA, despite Correspondences 1 and 2.
Correspondence 4 15 Jan 2016 e-mail from Dave Keil see Comment 4
Editorial Comments 4 Correspondence 4 includes reference to the treatment of this taxon in Flora North America by Al-Shehbaz & Gaskin (Flora North America 7:593), in which it is indicated that Lepidium strictum (S. Watson) Rattan is native to Chile, and introduced (and naturalized) in CA. [Therefore, Current Status changed to Jepson Flora Project-2, from Jepson Flora Project-1 (accepted name for taxon native to CA) previously in this Index, 20 Jan 2016.]
