Correspondence and Comments Subsequent to Initial Analysis
Correspondence 1 9 Jan 2002 e-mail from Margriet Wetherwax (forwarded e-mail from J. Mark Porter) see Comment 1
Editorial Comments 1 Correspondence 1 indicates that Porter and "Leigh" [a.k.a. L. A. Johnson] recognize Polemonium pulcherrimum Hook. var. pilosum (Greene) Brand, but that they do so as Polemonium pulcherrimum subsp. pulcherrimum var. pilosum (E. Greene) Brand, i.e., as a var. within Polemonium pulcherrimum subsp. pulcherrimum.
Correspondence 2 26 Feb 2002 pers. comm. from Jeff Greenhouse see Comment 2
Editorial Comments 2 Correspondence 2 indicates that author citation uncertain, Polemonium pulcherrimum Hook. var. pilosum "(Greenman) Brand" by Brand in protologue.
Correspondence 3 16 Sep 2002 e-mail from Jeff Greenhouse see Comment 3
Editorial Comments 3 Correspondence 3 indicates that the Polemonium pulcherrimum var. pilosum was based on Polemonium viscosum var. pilosum Greenm. published by J. M. Greenman in Bot. Gaz. 25: 263 (1898). [Author citation corrected to Polemonium pulcherrimum var. pilosum (Greenm.) Brand, from Polemonium pulcherrimum Hook. var. pilosum (Greene) Brand originally in The Jepson Manual [Ed. 1]; author citation again uncertain, with discovery that author citation in Kartesz & Meacham is Polemonium pulcherrimum Hook. var. pilosum (Greenm.) J. F. Davidson.]
Correspondence 4 18 Oct 2002 e-mail from Jeff Greenhouse see Comment 4
Editorial Comments 4 Correspondence 4 indicates that nothing was found to invalidate the 1907 publication of Polemonium pulcherrimum var. pilosum by Brand, and that J. F. Davidson, in his monograph on Polemonium (Univ. Calif. Publ. Bot. 23: 209-282. 1950), included Polemonium viscosum Nutt. var. pilosum Greenm. (the basionym of Polemonium pulcherrimum var. pilosum) as a synonym of Polemonium pulcherrimum.
