Hi, I noticed that Osmani is spelling the species name of Pasithea differently than I do. Since it is a South American species I am assuming he might know better than I do how to spell it. I had been using the name that I had and that is listed in my reference books. So I decided to look it up in IPNI and Mobot to see what name they were giving it. In IPNI I found the name I had been using and this family: Anthericaceae Pasithea caerulea ( <http://ipni.org/ipni/authorsearch/…>Ruiz & <http://ipni.org/ipni/authorsearch/…>Pav. ) <http://ipni.org/ipni/authorsearch/…>D.Don in Edinb. N. Phil. Journ. xiii. (Oct. 1832) 237. basionym: <http://ipni.org/ipni/plantsearch/…>Anthericaceae Anthericum caeruleum<http://ipni.org/ipni/plantsearch/…> Ruiz & Pav. Fl. Per. iii. 67. t. 299. In Mobot I found the name Osmani is using and a different family: Pasithea coerulea (Ruiz & Pav.) D. Don Group - Monocot - Family - LILIACEAE - Lily Family Published in: Edinburgh New Philosophical Journal 13: 237. 1832. Type - specimen(s) type: Ruiz & Pavon 9/65, 1778-88, Peru (MA). Basionym: <http://mobot.mobot.org/cgi-bin/search_vast/…>Anthericum coeruleum<http://mobot.mobot.org/cgi-bin/search_vast/…> Ruiz & Pav. Flora 3: 67. 1802. Could someone please suggest which name I should go with and which family? It appears that both references site the same source for the published name with a different spelling. I thought it was from Chile, but it looks like when it was published it was from Peru? I love the blue flowers of this plant and would like to know what to call it. Thanks for any help with this.
