Thanks James. When I received seeds of this plant about ten years ago from a fellow Philadelphia Cactus and Succulent Society member he said they were a small form of Bowiea volubilis. I bought the bulbs from the Huntington thinking I was getting a new plant. Surprise. Growers like the binomials versus common names. Old or invalid names are still useful. Who really needs multiple pots of the same plant with different names. Ken P Old Bridge, NJ Zone 6b
