Correspondence 1 indicates that this name was published by Ray J. Davis (R. J. Davis in Authors of Plant Names) in Flora of Idaho, 1952. [Author abbreviation corrected to R. J. Davis, from R. Davis originally in The Jepson Manual [Ed. 1] and this Index, 28 Jan 2003.]
Correspondence 1 indicates that although R. J. Davis is the author of Flora of Idaho, the treatment of Eriogonum in that work was "Adapted from work of Susan G. Stokes" (S. Stokes in Authors of Plant Names) and the combination is credited to "(Gre.) St.", meaning "(Greene) S. Stokes". [Therefore, author citation corrected to Eriogonum strictum Benth. var. anserinum (Greene) S. Stokes, from Eriogonum strictum Benth. var. anserinum (Greene) R. J. Davis previously in this Index, 12 Oct 2006.]
