Initial Editorial Analysis Nov 1 2001

Editorial Recommendation author citation to be checked [resolved]
Correspondence and Comments Subsequent to Initial Analysis
Correspondence 1 8 Oct 2003 e-mail from Jeff Greenhouse see Comment 1
Editorial Comments 1 Correspondence 1 indicates that this name was published in W.T. Aiton, Hortus Kewensis ed. 2, 5:201 (1813), in which the name and diagnosis are followed by "Brown mss.", indicating that Brown (according to TLII, Robert Brown; R. Br. in Authors of Plant Names) was the author of both. [Therefore, the correct author citation is Listera cordata (L.) R. Br., as originally in The Jepson Manual [Ed. 1] and this Index.]
Correspondence 2 8 Oct 2003 e-mail from Jeff Greenhouse see Comment 2
Editorial Comments 2 Correspondence 2 indicates that Lawrence K. Magrath and Ronald A. Coleman (Flora North America 26:588--9. 2002) recognize two varieties, Listera cordata (L.) R. Br. var. cordata and Listera cordata (L.) R. Br. var. nephrophylla (Rydb.) Hultén (based on Listera nephrophylla Rydb.), indicating only the latter for CA, and noting "Taxonomists have differed about whether these two varieties deserve to be recognized. ... Further study of this species 'complex' is needed.".
Correspondence 3 Treatment submitted for The Jepson Manual [Ed. 2] by Ronald A. Coleman & Lawrence K. Magrath see Comment 3
Editorial Comments 3 Correspondence 3 indicates that for The Jepson Manual [Ed. 2] infraspecific taxa are not to be recognized in Listera cordata.
