Thanks, Pascal, that's made things much clearer for me.
Does anyone know whether there has ever been a key published for the
different genera of rainlilies? At the moment it seems like the only way you
can identify the plants you have is to go back to the original species
publication and these can be quite difficult to find.
Best wishes,
Matthew
