Jim,
Amaryllidaceae, Alliaceae, Lilaceae ............

Has anyone yet come to any firm conclusions; and whilst I've a lot of faith
in science, there's still so much work that needs to be done to understand
many relationships.

Remember it's only really the superior ovary that CURRENTLY places Tulbaghia
in the alliaceae, and the umbellate inflorescence is a usual character for
Amaryllidacae.

However, I completely agree with you, as incredible as it sounds.

I'm helping Edinburgh RBG with a study into Tulbaghia at the moment. If
there is an intergeneric cross out there I must find out, and find out as
much as I can, and for it may help best place Tulbaghia.

I don't want to cause any controvercy about plant breeding, I just need to
know if other people have heard the same rumours, as they have originated
from a very good source, which shall remain anonymous.

Best Wishes,
Dave
