Hymenocallis--TOW

Thanks, Alan. I'm glad you spotted Lauw's question and answered it,
since I didn't know either. Is there a book or website that lists all
the currently accepted names for both Hymenocallis and Ismene?

Not knowing where all these plants originate from, should H. x festalis
and H. x 'Sulphur Queen' be labelled Ismene x festalis and I. x
'Sulphur Queen'?
Also, I remembered I have a couple of seedlings of Hymenocallis
amancaes. Is that now Ismene amancaes?

...Patiently waiting for Alan M., Kevin P., and their colleagues to
write the definitive book on South American geophytes à la The Color
Encyclopedia of Cape Bulbs by John Manning, Peter Goldblatt, Dee
Snijman,
;-)
