Note: discrepancy between the protologue type citation and distributed types. 

            In our article, the collection date and collector of the type specimens for Ipomopsis ramosa are said to be "29 Jun 2006, A. Schneider 5085 with Betty Schneider."  This date, however, referred to the time that the species was first discovered by Al and Betty Schneider.  The type collection actually was made 7 Jul 2011 by Al Schneider and John Bregar, as A. Schneider & J. Bregar 5085, and the label of the distributed specimens bears the correct information.  

 

            In the protologue, the collection number (5085) and all other locality data, as well as the distribution of the holotype and isotypes, are correct as published.  The name Ipomopsis ramosa can be viewed as validly published, acknowledging this discrepancy between the protologue type citation and distributed types. 

 

            We thank John Boggan (US) for alerting us to this discrepancy.
