Neomarica -stumbling toward ID

Hi,

Thanks David for adding the pictures and more information to the wiki. Max
Withers translated the web pages from Maurice Bossard for me and with that
and the information from David it appears that the two species that people
get mixed up about are not N. gracilis and N. northiana, but N. northiana
and N. candida. I can see how that would happen by looking at the pictures
on the wiki.

Max has also found a link with a key in answer to Jim's desires:
http://libdigi.unicamp.br/document/…
The summary of the article is also in English, but it appears that the
article and the key is in Portuguese apparently. Max says there is a member
of our list who might be able to translate the key for us or perhaps for
the people who are most interested.

Lee translated a Leucocoryne key for me a number of years ago and I found
it very helpful in sorting out the plants I was growing.

Our list is an amazing resource.

I am still wishing for something vaguely definitive in
identifying Neomarica sp - a key perhaps.
