Collection Notes

Svenson, 1937: "Torrey applied this hopeless nomen confusum, which should be rejected, to proliferous plants in general, comprising at least three previously established species....[he discusses several sheets Torrey consulted, including] An envelope, containing fruiting spikelets, labeled "Fruit. Dr. Chapman, Florida," (evidently the source of the description of E. prolifera on page 442), accompanied by drawings with the annotation "Middle Florida. Dr. Chapman," and clearly representing E. microcarpa var. Brittonii (E. tenuis var. ß. Torr.)."
