"You might sometimes see R. ramiflora labelled as "Romulea bulbocodium nivalis" – that name isn't correct, it is a name invented in horticulture and it isn't a valid one either as there is already a valid, totally different, species called Romulea nivalis, from Lebanon, already using the epithet nivalis. You may also see R. ramiflora labelled as Romulea bulbocodium Knightshayes Form, (especially when it is grown on the west coast of the USA). This is a more tricky situation, since although that appears to be a valid name it is being misapplied to R. ramiflora in error. I don't know if the original, documented Knightshayes plant is even still in existence or in cultivation, though its memory is being kept alive by the imposter.
As if this wasn't all enough – many of the stocks grown in cultivation, under the actual name of Romulea ramiflora are not in fact Romulea ramiflora at all! They seem to be wrongly named and represent a weedy southern hemisphere species that is perhaps giving the correct plant a bad name. Those plants represent a "seed list changeling" that has replaced the true species by virtue of its thuggish manners and prolific seeding."
