Fernald reduced S. Beckii and 
S. Grayi to S. tuberosa Raf. He as- 
sumed that S. Beckit and S. Grayi are 
synonymous. Then he made S. Grayi a 
variety of S. tuberosa, and adopted as the type 
of S. tuberosa, in part, S. gracilis (var. flori- 
dana). S. tuberosa Raf. sensu Fernald 
is thus concocted from several 
different species.
