Speaking of uncertainties and bones of contention with regard to species
names and synonyms, I was scanning through Dirk's latest list of bulb
offerings and happened upon this:

"Ipheion pelegrinans (syn. Tristagma pelegrinans) Known as I. 'Rolf
Fiedler' in the trade before it's true identity was established. Beautiful
starry cobalt blue flowers in Winter to Spring. Increases by stolons."....
My question is: When did it get settled? And when and who established its
true identity? Not having any Tristagma, nor ever having seen a live
plant, I didn't realize that they were similar enough to Ipheions that
there would be a synonymous name for it.

Finally, does this mean that it is merely a true species and therefore we
no longer need to nor should refer to it as 'Rolf Fiedler' as Dirk now
does in his catalog?
