There's certainly nothing on the web more useful than the piece done by Stephen
Jankalski. Here's the URL:

While we're talking, was Tylecodon hallii named after this man? (seems
unlikely...)
"hallii: after Harvey Monroe Hall (1874-1932), who was born in Illinois, and
was an authority on
the Asteraceae of Southern California, a graduate of
and professor of botany at the University
of California, and a pioneer in experimental
taxonomy. He was the author in 1902 of A Botanical
Survey of San Jacinto Mountain, and was a collector
of plants in the Mt. Pinos region in 1905
and on Santa Cruz Island in 1908. He was placed in
charge of the University of California
Herbarium at Berkeley in 1902, became an instructor
in botany in 1903, and subsequently
became an assistant professor and then an associate
professor in 1916. In 1919 he joined the
Carnegie Institution in Washington, which established
its Division of Plant Biology on the
Stanford Campus, where he also became a professor of
botany. At the same time he became
Honorary Curator of the University of California
Herbarium, a position which lasted until 1932.
After a trip to Europe in 1929 to study natural
reserves, he proposed the creation of "Natural
Areas," and specifically the White Mountains and
Harvey Monroe Hall research areas near
Yosemite National Park (ref. Caulanthus hallii,
Galium hallii, Grindelia hallii, Tetracoccus
hallii)"

Do a Google search and you will be surprised who did a review of the genus.

The review is overdue for an update because new species are continually
being described for the genus.

Does anyone know anyone that knows a lot about the genus Tylecodon?
