Correspondence and Comments Subsequent to Initial Analysis
Correspondence 1 26 Aug 2008 e-mail from Jeff Greenhouse see Comment 1
Editorial Comments 1 Correspondence 1 indicates that Melica bulbosa was published by Thomas C. Porter & John M. Coulter (Porter & J.M. Coult. in Authors of Plant Names), in Synopsis of the Flora of Colorado 149 (1874), and that those authors ascribed only the name but not the description to Geyer. [Therefore, author citation corrected to Melica bulbosa Geyer ex Porter & J.M. Coult., from Melica bulbosa Geyer previously in this Index, 10 Sep 2008.]
