Author attributions for Southern California plant names

This list is not intended to be inclusive for all taxa in California or even Southern California, but merely to explain the
author names for those taxa which I currently have in my website. The name or abbreviation that in some cases
immediately follows in parentheses the initial entry listing is the way the author's name is given or abbreviated in some references, reflecting the fact that not everybody abbreviates these names in exactly the same manner. Also, I am well aware that not all sources are in total agreement about author names, but the author attributions here are as given in the current edition of the Jepson Manual (1st edition, 3rd printing with corrections, 1993). The abbreviation fl. is for the latin word 'floruit' meaning 'he/she flourished, or lived at this time,' and is used when there is no certain information about the author's date of birth or death. I especially wish to acknowledge the invaluable assistance of Mr. David Hollombe with the information on this page.
