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?
