Taxonomic Comments

Epithet "thompsoniae" (as opposed to "thompsonae") is the correct spelling according to Dr. Dan Nicolson, one of the editors of the International Code of Bot. Nomenclature (1988); see article 73.1-Standardization of names. (Feb/8/90 memo from Christa Russell). Kartesz agrees (draft 1997 data).
