Dear Jim: Nerine corusca was given to a selected form of N. sarniensis. Selections from the same species were also given such names as 'Ancilla', 'Blush Beauty', 'guyFawkes' and others as well. Unfortunatly a selection was also named 'Forthergillii Major'. Thue confusion as this has no relationship at all with N. forthergillii. N. curvifolia is a synonym of N. forthergillii. I hope this helps. Cheers, John E.
