Source of Report for California The Jepson Manual [Ed. 1]
Correspondence and Comments Subsequent to Initial Analysis
Correspondence 1 1 Jun 2007 e-mail from Jeff Greenhouse see Comment 1
Editorial Comments 1 Correspondence 1 indicates that Parthenocissus inserta, misapplied to Parthenocissus vitacea in The Jepson Manual [Ed. 1], was published by Karl Fritsch (Fritsch in Authors of Plant Names) in Excursionsflora für Österreich 321. (1922), based on Vitis inserta published by Anton Joseph Kerner (A. Kern. in Authors of Plant Names) in Pflanzenleben 1: 658, 659, f. 1. (1887). [Therefore, author citation of The Jepson Manual [Ed. 1] misapplied name corrected to Parthenocissus inserta (A. Kern) Fritsch, from Parthenocissus inserta (Kerner) K. Fritsch previously in this Index, 4 Jun 2007.]
Correspondence 2 Treatment and author notes submitted for The Jepson Manual [Ed. 2] by Eric B. Wada & M. Andrew Walker see Comment 2
Editorial Comments 2 Correspondence 2 indicates that for The Jepson Manual [Ed. 2] Parthenocissus vitacea (Knerr) Hitchc. is to be treated as naturalized in California (with a note "In The Jepson Manual [Ed. 1] treated as native to CA, which may be correct"), because many individuals sometimes inhabit the same area, indicating probable reproduction of some kind, and because the plants are often or generally or always [not sure which] located near human activity or evidence thereof.]
Correspondence 3 ?? Jun 2011 e-mail from James S. Pringle, author of Gentianaceae for The Jepson Manual [Ed. 2] see Comment 3
Editorial Comments 3 Correspondence 3 indicates that Parthenocissus inserta (A. Kern.) Fritsch is the correct for what has been called in The Jepson Manual [Ed. 1] and this Index Parthenocissus vitacea (Knerr) Hitchc., citing his own paper on the subject (Pringle 2010 Michigan Botanist 49:73--78). [Essentially, if the two names are regarded as heterotypic synonyms, as they are here, Parthenocissus inserta (A. Kern.) Fritsch has priority and therefore would be the correct name, with Parthenocissus vitacea (Knerr) Hitchc. as a syn.]
