I really confused by what Jane has written. I looked at the wiki page
for this species and I can't see any reference to John Grimshaw.
"The genus Acis was created in 1807 by R.A. Salisbury. Acis is a member
of the Amaryllidaceae family. In the 1880s the species in this genus
were lumped into the genus Leucojum. Dolores Lledo, Aaron Davis, Manuel
Crespo, Mark Chase and Michael Fay from RBG Kew in a new paper to be
published entitled "Phylogenetic analysis of Leucojum and Galanthus
(Amaryllidaceae) based on plastid matK and nuclear ribosomal spacer
(ITS) DNA sequences and morphology" have determined that Galanthus is
most closely related to Leucojum and that the species formerly included
in Acis should be returned to that genus. These species are the small
species with narrow leaves and unmarked flowers. This information was
provided by John Grimshaw."
