| Remarks | Dates & Forenames cited in the Death Certificate of David Crane issued by the District Columbia (via David Hollombe); however, Britton & Rose (Cactaceae: 3: 32, footnote. 1922) mentioned: 'The authority for this name ("Echinocereus liebnerianus Carp, Balt. Cact. Journ. 2: 262. 1896) was given as Carp or as an abbreviation, Carp., which suggested that it might be an abbreviation for Carpenter, but as there was no cactus authority of this name the explanation seemed unsatisfactory. It was known that various short articles appeared in the Baltimore Cactus Journal under this name with a California address. This led us to write to C. R. Orcutt and then to Ernest Braunton, both of whom have long been in touch with horticultural interests in California. From them we obtained the following information: Carp's real name was Daniel R. Crane. At one time he was a dealer of cacti and advertised freely under the name of the California Cactus Company, Soldiers' Home, Las Angeles County, California. His pen name, he explained, was a reversal of the first syllable of practical, which is of doubtful significance. Crane served in the Union Army and was somewhat erratic in his later years. He died about 1901."' |
