In an earlier posting I said I received Nothoscordum inodorum as Tecophilea cyanocrocus, but Jane's posting makes me think it came to me, too, as a leucojum, specifically L. trichophyllum (now Acis t.). This makes more sense as the inflorescences of A. trichophyllum and Nothoscordum inodorum might be mistaken by some carelessly ignorant grower: "ittle white bells hanging from a stalk" The thing that truly grated was that the donor, on investigation, turned out to be the then-president of the ARGS. This could be a mistake that goes back a very long way, and exemplifies the absolute need to always verify the identity of plants grown from seed, *especially* if you intend to donate their seed to an exchange. -- Rodger Whitlock Victoria, British Columbia, Canada Z. 7-8, cool Mediterranean climate
