Hi, I made a wiki page for Prospero. http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/… David Fenwick has supplied some photos of Prospero autumnale and Michael Neumann who grows a lot of the different forms has offered to share photos and his observations of variations he has seen in the wild. Curiously, David's plants were photographed in January and February, not in autumn. As I made the page I decided to add the Plant List, the Kew check list, and the Euro+Med database "accepted" species in case anyone else has photos of them. When making this page and looking up the synonyms I was struck with how Prospero autumnale has such a broad range and has been called so many different things and in spite of the variations that must exist (and Michael will tell us about) no varieties or subspecies or forms seem to be "accepted". In contrast there are a number of different species that are only found in Crete. I wonder how different they are and how easy to tell apart. I found this reference: FLORA OF CRETE: Supplement II, Additions 1997-2008 by Nicholas Turland & Lance Chilton "All six species are apparently diploids, with chromosome numbers ranging from 2n = 12 to 2n = 28. They are treated here under P. autumnale sensu lato until further study of Prospero throughout its distribution results in a more satisfactory taxonomic arrangement. Bergmeier & al. (2001: 351) noted that plants from Ep. Sitia: Koufonisi island and adjacent islets do not match any of the following six species and may represent another, undescribed taxon. Valdés (2004) transferred the six species to Scilla L." I checked with Nick Turland and he responded that he wasn't aware of any more recent work on Prospero and gave me the reference to the Euro+Med database which accepts the changes. If anyone has photos of any of the 11 other species, we'd be happy to have them for the wiki. Mary Sue
