Abstract
We show that recent claims for the existence of an extra branch in the surface plasmon dispersion for an inhomogeneous medium are based on the use of a series solution of the wave equation that does not converge for the parameters of the "extra branch." This solution is nevertheless useful for obtaining a dispersion relation for the usual branch that is valid for larger differences between surface and bulk dielectric functions than had been treated previously.
