[AB_images] Hymenocallis

Hi Dash,

Yes, the Andean Hymenocallis are often put (back) into the Ismene. It depends on what you feel is most appropriate. I think I go with the separate genus for them now.

Ismene narcissiflora, I. longipetala, I. amancaes, I. hawkesii are the ones I can recall offhand.

Hamish, Joyce and All, Greetings from Oz.

May I ask if the Hymenocallis xFestalis is called Ismene 'Festalis'?
It appears to have 2 different names on two different forum lists. Or are
they 2 different plants? Please excuse my confusion.

Best wishes,

Dash.
