Hi all, Tropicos lists Z. minuta as a synonym for Zephyranthes verecunda, http://tropicos.org/Name/50227965/… while Kew lists verecunda as a synonym for the accepted name, minuta http://apps.kew.org/wcsp/… It does not list any synonyms for Zephyranthes carinata, http://www.tropicos.org/NameSearch.aspx and Kew also shows it as a legitimate name. Z. carinata is not Z. minuta. This could be one of those situations where botanical taxonomists get to feud over minutiae, and the rest of us get to pick and choose whatever suits us.
