Abstract

Botanist Cyrus G. Pringle collected plants in the western United States and northwestern Mexico between 1881 and 1884, and distributed his specimens as ‘Flora of the Pacific Slope’. The majority of the vascular plant type collections resulting from that work have been discussed elsewhere. This note addresses type status for five additional names that were previously overlooked in Pringle’s catalogue for Arizona and California.
