   • 1996, Tod F. Stuessy, S. H. Sohmer, Sampling the Green World: Innovative Concepts of Collection, Preservation, and Storage of Plant Diversity:

     Gall's science of “bump reading” would ultimately be abandoned as much for its fixation on social categories as for an inability within the scientific community to replicate its findings.
