From Stephen Putman: (SEEDS)
1. Hippeastrum striatum
From Arnold Trachtenberg:
SEEDS:
2. Narcissus cantabricus clusii. Per TPL and IPNI, there is no listing for
this. Per TPL, N. clusii is a synonym of N. cantabricus var. cantabricus.
Per IPNI, N. cantabricus and N. clusii are two separate species.
3. Narcissus romieuxii
4. Narcissus romieuxii var mesatlanticus. Per TPL and IPNI, there is no
listing for this. Also no listing under N. mesatlanticus.
PBS lists it as a synonym for N. romieuxii ssp. romieuxii var. romieuxii
(also not a valid name per TPL & IPNI), but does not indicate where it is
validly described.The Alpine Garden Society states, in part, ".or the
dubiously distinct variety mesatlanticus.."
