Hi again Jane, Just checked the first of the taxa you listed (Zephyrantes atamasca) and discovered it is an invalid name. Right spelling and author is: Zephyranthes atamasco (L.) Herb. -- App. [Bot. Reg.] 36. 1821 - orginaly described as Amaryllis atamasco L. Sp. Pl. 1: 292. 1753 [1 May 1753]. I believe that from there you can work out all other taxa.

Hope this help, Luc ________________________________________________________________________ Reçevez AOL Mail sur votre téléphone. Vos e-mails accessibles à tout moment!
