Fred: In what publication did Manning and Goldblatt make these changes? I like to keep up-to-date on these things if I can. Thanks for any info. By the way: My previous email referring to "Fred Baker" was meant to say "Bill Baker."

C. Manning and Goldblatt. The common Drimiopsis maculata is now Ledebouria petiolata J. C. Manning & Goldblatt, no relation to S. Venter's unpublished L. petiolata which is related to L. rupestris. I don't recall what Manning and Goldblatt renamed Drimiopsis kirkii when they transferred it to Ledebouria. It could not be called L. kirkii because that combination already existed. Interestingly Baker named a Scilla kirkii (which in 1995-96 Stedge and Thulin transferred to Ledebouria kirkii) and Baker also named a different plant Drimiopsis kirkii, which when transferred to Ledebouria in 2004 by Manning and Goldblatt needed a new specific name.
