Information from the Index of California Plant Names (ICPN)


Misapplications Cited in The Jepson Manual Acacia minuta (M.E. Jones) J. M. Beauch. subsp. minuta
Initial Editorial Analysis 12 May 2014 [JFP-1a, of 2 Mar 2010, was in error]
Source of Report for California The Jepson Manual [Ed. 1]
Initial Editorial Comments for The Jepson Manual [Ed. 1] misapplied names, spelling of epithet of subsp. corrected from "minuata" in The Jepson Manual [Ed. 1], based on assumption it is for typical element (no author cited), and on fact "minuata" does not appear in International Plant Names Index, either for species or subspecies (or variety) in Acacia.
Correspondence and Comments Subsequent to Initial Analysis
Correspondence 1 26 Sep 2005 e-mail from Jeff Greenhouse see Comment 1
Editorial Comments 1 Correspondence 1 confirms that Acacia minuta (misapplied to Acacia farnesiana var. farnesiana) was published by R. Mitchel Beauchamp (R.M. Beauch. in Authors of Plant Names) in Phytologia 46:5--6 (1980), based on Pithecellobium minutum M.E. Jones, in Contributions to Western Botany 18:38 (1933). [Therefore, author citation of The Jepson Manual [Ed. 1] misapplied name corrected to Acacia minuta (M.E. Jones) R. M. Beauch. subsp. minuta, from Acacia minuta (M.E. Jones) Beauchamp subsp. minuta previously in this Index, 27 Sep 2005.]
