Correspondence and Comments Subsequent to Initial Analysis
Correspondence 1 2 Jun 2003 e-mail from Jeff Greenhouse see Comment 1
Editorial Comments 1 Correspondence 1 indicates that Charles J. Sheviak (Flora North America, Vol. 26:551--571. 2002), treats Platanthera hyperborea in a sense more restricted than that employed in The Jepson Manual [Ed. 1], limiting it to plants in Greenland and Iceland; he apparently includes California plants treated as Platanthera hyperborea in The Jepson Manual [Ed. 1] within an expanded circumscription of Platanthera sparsiflora, except perhaps for some in c SNH, which he places in Platanthera purpurascens, which would be new for CA.
Correspondence 2 Treatment and author notes submitted for The Jepson Manual [Ed. 2] by Ronald A. Coleman see Comment 2
Editorial Comments 2 Correspondence 2 indicates that for The Jepson Manual [Ed. 2] Habenaria leucostachys (Lindl.) S. Watson var. virida Jeps. is to be treated as a synonym of Platanthera sparsiflora (S. Watson) Schltr..
