Hymenocallis--TOW-Part One
Alan Meerow (Mon, 19 Apr 2004 06:29:37 PDT)

There are 2 spp. of Ismene subg. Pseudostenomesson, I. vargasii and I.
morrisonii, which seem to differ largely on the basis of tube length. These
are very high elevation green-flowered taxa with flowers that resemble a
Clinanthus sp. (formerly Stenomesson in part).

For a review see: Meerow, A. W., C. L. Guy, Q-B. Li, and J. R. Clayton.

morphology and molecular characters. Ann. Missouri Bot. Gard. 89: 400-413.
