Correspondence and Comments Subsequent to Initial Analysis
Correspondence 1 20 May 2003 e-mail from Jeff Greenhouse see Comment 1
Editorial Comments 1 Correspondence 1 indicates that Gandhi and Barkworth (Taxon 52:137--138. 2003) proposed the orthographical conservation of "Munroa" over "Monroa", in an attempt to avoid possible controversy as to whether the spelling discrepancy can be treated as a correctible error and in order to preserve the general usage of Munroa: Torrey (Pacif. Railr. Rep. 4 pt. 5, no. 4:158. 1857) published the name as "Monroa" after "Major Monro", although the honoree spelled his name "Munro" and the genus has been spelled "Munroa" almost universally since it was changed [to Munroa] by Bentham and Hooker f. in 1883. [Correct spelling of the genus name uncertain, pending action on proposal by Gandhi and Barkworth; spelling retained as in The Jepson Manual [Ed. 1] (Munroa) until resolution.]
Correspondence 2 29 Jun 2005 e-mail from Staci Marcos, including forwarded e-mail from Travis Columbus, Family Editor for Poaceae in The Jepson Manual [Ed. 2] see Comment 2
Editorial Comments 2 Correspondence 2 indicates that the Committee for Spermatophyta has recommended that the spelling "Munroa" be conserved over the original spelling "Monroa," even though conservation probably isn't necessary based on Article 60.1. (ICPN).
