Jude, A few years ago, I came up with a list of about 122 names, some of which were synonyms. We are still waiting for Alan Meerow and/or Julie Dutilh to write a definitive monograph on the Amaryllidaceae of the New World or at least of South America. The database file that I compiled is in the Files section of http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/… My compilation is in no way "definitive" at all! It is not a scholarly work! Take it as-is for what it's worth. Jim Shields At 01:04 AM 10/28/2011 -0400, you wrote: >How many varieties of Hippeastrum are there?
