Hi, I'm working on a cumulative index to the NARGS journal and am trying to verify the validity of the plant names that have been cited over a period of many years. Internet searches are sometimes helpful, sometimes not (the great annoyance is that Google almost always comes up with a certain set of almost entirely useless websites that seem to have a capability of plugging in any species name that is searched with a genus name they have filed, whether they have any information on that taxon or not). The genus Zephyranthes is particularly difficult to fathom, so I'd like someone who knows the current thinking to look at the list below and tell me which names are validly published and accepted at this time, and, I hope, the synonyms for those that are not. Can you help? An authority and date for valid names would be much appreciated. I marked the ones that seem particularly problematic with question marks. Zephyranthes atamasca Zephyranthes chichimeca Zephyranthes chlorosolen Zephyranthes citrina Zephyranthes drummondii Zephyranthes flavissima ? Zephyranthes grandiflora Zephyranthes insularum ? Zephyranthes jonesii Zephyranthes katherinae ? Zephyranthes lindleyana Zephyranthes longifolia Zephyranthes macrosiphon Zephyranthes morrisclintii ? Zephyranthes pulchella Zephyranthes refugiensis Zephyranthes reginae ? Zephyranthes rosea Zephyranthes simpsonii Zephyranthes smallii Zephyranthes texana = Habranthus tubispathus? Zephyranthes traubii Zephyranthes treatii = Z. atamasca var. treatii? Thank you! Jane McGary
