Ismene 'Sulfur Queen'

I think they have brought back Ismene, after submerging it into
Hymenocallis for some years. As with all things botanical, one can still
use the name one prefers.

Isn't the new name for Ismene now Hymenocallis
or did they bring the old name back

Hi Adam,

Years ago I used to have Sulphur Queen, Pax, Festalis, Advance,
longipetala, and amancaes. None of the hybrids ever set seed for me, in
spite of often diligent pollinating on my part. I think they were not
pleased with the summer climate here in the Midwest as far reproduction is
concerned.

I have a yellow Ismene which I assume is 'Sulfur Queen'./ it has no
pollen. Is this characteristic? and does anyone know if it is pod fertile?
