>>>>>It's good to see your name on a post again! I would be very interested >>>>>in hearing from anyone who knows about the reclassifications that you mention. Alan Meerow is on this list. Alan, have you any information or references to share? Cheers Dell. From how I understand it; Amaryllidaceae and Agapanthaceae can still be treated as independant families within the order Asparagales; but equally all genera contained within the Amaryllidaceae and Agapanthaceae can also be placed within the family Alliaceae. I understand that both taxonomies are correct. Thus Tulbaghia and Agapanthus, once thought to be as different as chalk and cheese and occupying different families, are now both related and can be regarded as members of the same somewhat larger family.
