Dear All, Manning, Goldblatt, and Snijman's Color Encyclopedia of Cape Bulbs on Wachendorfia says winter rainfall South Africa, 4 spp. They are listed as: W. brachyandra W. mulfiflora (syn. W. parviflora) W. paniculata W. thyrsiflora So that is a confirmation of what John Bryan has written. It don't recall this book ever including subspecies. I've added a link to the wiki for Bill Richardson's interesting article on Wachendorfia. We always try to link to other pages if we know about them where people can find more information. Anyone in our group can add a link like this. It's good to hear from Bill after several years of not hearing from him. Thanks for referring us, Bill, to your article. Mary Sue
