From Corina Rieder:
BULBS
1. Babiana sinuata
2. Babiana stricta
3. Calochortus superbus (1st year open pollinated)
4. Melasphaerula ramosa
From Monica Swartz:
5. Bulbs of Eucharis amazonica
Eucharis is known to potentially carry a couple of different endemic
viruses (ie Amazon
Lily Mosaic Virus, Eucharis Mottle Virus). I have not seen evidence
of virus in these bulbs nor have I ever had virus in
any of my other Amaryllids that my Eucharis have lived with for a
decade. However, it is my understanding that Eucharis can carry virus
without showing symptoms so BX recipients should be aware and
diligently prevent sucking insects. It may be that all Eucharis carry
endemic viruses (not unusual in Amazonian plants) so this warning
should apply to all material in this genus, not just these bulbs.
