Hymenocallis--TOW
Alan Meerow (Fri, 23 Apr 2004 04:11:56 PDT)
Lauw,
Ismene: leaf sheaths forming a prolonged pseudostem, flowers declinate to
pendulous, staminal cup usually striped green within along the filamental
trace, ovules 2-4 per locule; endemic to Central Andes of Ecuador, Peru and
Bolivia.
Hymenocallis: leaves never forming a prolonged pseudostem, flowers sub-erect
to erect, staminal cup never striped green within, ovules 2-10 per locule,
mostly absent from South America (natively in northern S. Amer only and
never in the Andes).

Dear Lee,
I probably missed out somewhere. Can you tell me please the difference
between Ismene and Hymenocallis.

Plus, I grow
the two hybrids that are always sold by the regular nurseries, which
might be Ismenes rather than Hymenocallis (x festalis and Sulphur
Queen).
