Dear Dr. Clovis: Unfortunately there is an error that I am responsible for in my article “The Carolina Plants of Andre Michaux” that appeared in the June issue [Castanea 44: 2. 1979].

It is tropical in vegetation, being about 90 latitude north of the equator.
This is a small book (390 pages) on the field and methods of vascular plant systematics; it is very much reminiscent of George Lawrence’s small “Introduction to Plant Taxonomy.” The present work is much updated over Lawrence, however, and is a much more useful work.
