Correspondence and Comments Subsequent to Initial Analysis
Correspondence 1 2 Aug 2005 e-mail from Jeff Greenhouse see Comment 1
Editorial Comments 1 Correspondence 1 indicates that Polygonum douglasii subsp. spergulariiforme was published by J. C. Hickman in Madroño 31:251. (1984), and that the basionym, Polygonum spergulariiforme, was published by John K. Small (Small in Authors of Plant Names) in Bulletin of the Torrey Botanical Club 19:366 (1892), wherein Small ascribed the name to Meisner (Meisn. in Authors of Plant Names) and, without providing a description himself, provided a valid reference to an earlier description published by Meisner under the name Polygonum coarctatum (an illegitimate later homonym), thereby satisfying the requirements for valid publication. [Therefore, author citation corrected to Polygonum douglasii Greene subsp. spergulariiforme (Meisn. ex Small) J. C. Hickman, from Polygonum douglasii Greene subsp. spergulariiforme (Meisn.) J. C. Hickman previously in this Index, 12 Aug 2005.]
Correspondence 2 Treatment submitted for The Jepson Manual [Ed. 2] by Mihai Costea see Comment 2
Editorial Comments 2 Correspondence 2 indicates that for The Jepson Manual [Ed. 2] Polygonum douglasii Greene subsp. spergulariiforme (Meisn. ex Small) J. C. Hickman is to be treated as Polygonum spergulariiforme Meisn. ex Small.
