[Taxacom] Taxacom Digest, Vol 161, Issue 8

Re Mike Wilson's remembered paper ("I got it there then."), it is by Reid
Moran (1962), "*Cneoridium dumosum* (Nuttall) Hooker f. collected March 26,
1960, at an elevation of about 1450 meters on Cerro Quemazón, 15 miles
south of Bahía de los Angeles, Baja California, México, apparently for a
southeastward range extension of some 140 miles." Madroño *16*: 272.

The full text reads:

"I got it there then (8068).
"I wish to express my sincere thanks to the San Diego Museum of Natural
History and particularly to its director, Dr. George E. Lindsay, for making
possible the trip on which this interesting specimen was collected; to my
companion of the trip, Mr. Glen Ives, then staff artist of the Museum but
functioning on the trip as collector of birds and mammals, for much help
and encouragement during the field work; to Señor Ricardo Daggett of Bahia
de los Angeles, majordomo of the Vermilion Sea Field Station of the San
Diego Museum of Natural History, for help in planning and arranging the
trip; and to Señor Pepe Smith and his 14-year-old son Favian, both of Bahia
de los Angeles, who packed us into the mountains, for many courtesies
extended. I am very grateful to Miss Anita Carter, Principal Herbarium
Botanist of the University of California, Berkeley, for graciously
verifying my determination of the specimen. I also wish to extend my thanks
to the editor of the publications of the San Diego Society of Natural
History for his many helpful suggestions during the compilation and
processing of the data and the writing of the manuscript; to Dr. Helen K.
Sharsmith, Señora Herbarium Botanist of the University of California,
Berkeley, for her valuable suggestions on expanding the discussion and
making the title more precise; to Mrs. Jerry Heller of the Museum staff for
her very careful and accurate typing and retyping of the manuscript; and to
Mrs. Rosemarie Fiebig of the Museum staff for taking the final manuscript
to the post office for mailing. I must also express my deep gratitude to
all my former mentors, to whose excellent instruction and training must
ultimately be attributed any merit that this unworthy contribution may
possess, although, needless to say, any errors are my own: in particular, I
would name Professor Ira L. Wiggins and the late Professor LeRoy Abrams, of
Stanford University; Professor Robert T. Clausen, of Cornell University;
and Professors Lincoln Constance, Herbert L. Mason, and G. Ledyard
Stebbins, of the University of California, Berkeley. Last but not least, I
cannot fail to mention my deep indebtedness to my parents, without whose
early cooperation this work would never have been possible."--Reid Moran,
Museum of Natural History, San Diego, California.
