For further comments on Manning and Goldblatt's lumping together of genera
and species based on molecular evidence I suggest referring back to Harold
Koopowitz's comments in January of this year: [pbs] Scilla and taxonomic
changes.

Personally I feel that it is good to know that Drimiopsis is very close to
Ledebouria based on molecular evidence, but should Drimiopsis be merged into
Ledebouria, ignoring what seem to be visually very different flower forms.
Should molecular evidence trump floral form?
