Correspondence and Comments Subsequent to Initial Analysis
Correspondence 1 30 Nov 2001 e-mail from Jeff Greenhouse see Comment 1
Editorial Comments 1 Correspondence 1 indicates should be Hedeoma nanum subsp. californicum, citing "Stearn 1966 Botanical Latin: 82. Art. 13". [However, "Art. 13" in Stearn states "nouns ending in -ma, with the genitive singular ending in -atis, are neuter nouns of Greek origin", and does not include Hedeoma among ca. 17 generic names given as examples. Edward G. Voss (Michigan Flora. Part III. p 180) states, "The generic name [Hedeoma] is feminine, in accord with Art. 62.2(b) of the Code (and previous Recommendations; see also Taxon 43: 105. 1994.)." The Article Voss cites is in the 1994 Code and states "Compounds ending in ...-osma (the modern transcription of the feminine Greek word osme -^ needed over e)...are feminine." The Taxon paper Voss cites is by Dan H. Nicolson; is titled "Gender of generic names, particularly those ending in -ma, in the 'Names in current use' list"; indicates Hedeoma as feminine; and states that oma is a variant of the Greek osme -^ needed over e. Hence, the genus is treated here as feminine.]
