Editorial Comments 1
|
Correspondence 1 indicates that, according to Marc Baker (The Jepson Manual [Ed. 1] co-author for Opuntia), there now is wide acceptance of Cylindropuntia for the "true chollas", so that Cylindropuntia echinocarpa (Engelm. & J. M. Bigelow) F. M. Knuth (in C. Backeberg & F. M. Knuth, Kaktus-ABC 124. 1935) is to be used for the taxon treated in The Jepson Manual [Ed. 1] as Opuntia echinocarpa.
