Subject: [pbs] 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?
