Thank u for the answers so far.  Mary Sue sent me the What's a Bulb link,
from our wiki & I was surprised to notice salvia & grass trees included.
Very interesting & we do have a grass after all :)

Well after having a read of the wiki & looking at this from a plant vrs
bulb thought..
It seems to me in regard to plants that don't really fit the description or
criteria of a bulb or geophyte, perhaps we should have them all in a fleshy
rooted plants section.  I haven't looked yet, if they are.. Then we
still accommodate people like Travis who have mad the wonderful effort
to add to the wiki, but with boarder line plants. Just an idea !

I must agree with Alberto & Roger, It seems to me as a bulb collector, if
we add very boarder line plants that aren't normally considered to be grown
for their bulbs or tuberous qualities, especially when they have a normal
plant like growth habit instead of even looking like a bulb or lily, we run
the risk of appearing to have a Plant and Bulbs Wiki, & we could loose the
exclusive ability to contribute an exclusive bulb wiki to the
world...  "That's only my opinion though"
