A plant being offered in the current BX is one that I grew under the name Scilla ramburei. At one point that was correct. The taxonomists now seem to think it should be a subspecies of Scilla verna, but how to spell it is confusing. Jim McKenney if he were still alive could probably help. I see on IPNI that it was published as Scilla ramburei, although Plants of the World Online spells it as Scilla ramburii and IPNI also has the spelling Scilla verna ssp. ramburii. World Flora Online has Scilla ramburei as a synonym for Scilla verna subsp. ramburei. Any experts out there to explain what spelling we should use? From IPNI Scilla ramburei Boiss., Elench. Pl.
