Brown: RECENT TAXONOMIC AND DISTRIBUTIONAL NOTES
FROM FLORIDA 7.
Govenia floridana
During 1987-1988 I examined with great care the
Govenia holdings of several major herbaria (K, W, US, NY,
TEX, LL, and MEXU), and for G. utriculata found highly
important and interesting results:
• (1) All specimens so identifiable have inflated sheaths.
Acknowledgements:
Without the earlier observations, research and
work of both Carlyle A. Luer, M.D. and, especially,
Edward W. Greenwood, Govenia floridana could not be
prepared for publication. I am indebted to both of them
for permitting the generous use of their work in preparing
this manuscript as well as extensive comments and
suggestions from Ed Greenwood. I also thank the
curators and managers of the following herbaria: AMES,
FLAS, FTG, USF, and Everglades National Park; Robert
Dressler for re-examining the flowers and K. Gandhi for
assistance in citing the paratype.
