Notes on Goodmania and Oxytheca (Polygonaceae: Eriogonoideae)

An examination of Parry’s collections of Oxytheca at ISC has prompted the following comments. The holotype of O. luteola is at ISC, not IA. It is maintained as Goodmania, a genus distinct from Oxytheca, in spite of Watson’s comparison of the species to O. caryophylloides in an 1882 letter to Parry. Parry’s “West Colorado, 1888” is not part of the type of O. parishii var. goodmaniana. Annotation labels using the epithet “spiculata” for the South American subspecies of O. dendroidea should be changed to “subsp. chilensis”.
