Thanks to everyone who offered bulbs or seeds of Ipheion sessile. I should have enough now to get me started. In trying to follow the names back, I found different names in different web sites, all seemingly coming from the same main database. The specific epithet "recurvifolium" did not show up in some of the sites. In those, some made a distinction between Iphieion (or Tristagma) sessile and I. (or T.) brevipes. One is found in Chile and the other in Uruguay. I don't yet have all this sorted out, and I did not get any idea how one tells the difference between sessile and brevipes if you did not collect them yourself in Chile or in Uruguay. As long as they bloom in my greenhouse someday, I'll be satisfied with Ipheion sessile or I. (or T.) brevipes or Tristagma recurvifolium.
