Comment:

an illegitimate, superfluous name (Shenzhen ICN 52) as Bailey cited Lactuca sativa var. angustana Irish as a synonym, which ought to have been adopted
Bailey effectively fixed the application of var. angustana by citing both "Lactuca angustana Hort. Vilm." and Irish's publication, which had provided no evidence to associate the epithet with the plant's use as a stem vegetable
