Hi Pascal: Thanks for the links. The inclusion of Habranthus brachyandrus in Rhodophiala is incredible. Also the identification of the gorgeous white red speckled species as R. rhodolirion is surprising. It is generally acknowledged as an undescribed species that grows in an Andean pass between Argentina and Chile that I intendedly do not mention because of "modern day plant explorers". It is strongly clumping and the flowers are huge for the size of the plants. Jane, this must bring you memories of your recent Chilean trip. It is good to see that all have a good picture of the variety within this fascinating genus.
