Correspondence and Comments Subsequent to Initial Analysis

Correspondence 1

11 Apr 2007 e-mail from Jeff Greenhouse see Comment 1

Editorial Comments 1

Correspondence 1 indicates that Arctostaphylos nissenana was named for the Nissenan indians, so that "nissenana" is the correct spelling of the epithet, and that the spelling "nisseniana" has been used in the mistaken belief that the taxon was named for someone named Nissen. [Therefore, spelling of epithet correct as indicated in this Index, 12 Apr 2007.]
