Hessea and Strumaria

Dear All:

Apologies if this subject has been covered while I was out of touch, but I am wondering about the status of Hessea and Strumaria.

Has one genus been sunk into the other?

Any reference material available?

I have bulbs labelled with both names that bloomed about a month or two ago, some have open umbels, some have an umbel that droops sideways (what is the botanical term for that?), but the names I have are inconsistent.

Any information would be appreciated.
