I'm not sure I have P. canariensis so I can't tell you how to tell them
apart. But I have several other Pancratium species and none of them
have leaves as blue-greyish as Paramongaia. Also, my Paramongaias'
leaves are more leathery, or thicker, or stiffer, than any of the
Pancratium species.
Finally, since we both liver fairly close to each other, I can tell you
that my Pancratium species have started leafing our long before my
Paramongaias. I think only one Paramongaia has barely started emerging
the past week or so. The Pancratiums started leafing out a month ago or
so. Of course all this early rain may change all that.

I have several pots of bulbs with narrow grey-ish

Pancratium canariensis or Paramongaia weberii. Neither
have ever flowered for me, of course.
Is there someway to tell the 2 part in leaf? Maybe
ridges, leaf tips, something? I have had little luck
finding a photo of P. canariensis in leaf to see what
it looks like.
