Colchicum "liparichoides"

Flowering in my bulb house now is a middle-sized Colchicum which I once
grew from seed received under the name "Colchicum liparichoides." This
name (to my astonishment) does not exist anywhere within the reach of
Google, where invalid plant names abound. Its well-rounded white flowers
do not resemble those of the other white colchicums now in flower, which
are all smaller and with narrower tepals. It in fact resembles a
half-size version of the popular garden selection 'Innocence', long
grown as "Colchicum byzantinum album." I suppose it might be a white
form of some normally pink species, but I don't see any pink ones of
similar size and tepal width in flower right now.

Has anyone else encountered this name?
