Confusing topic.  Cooperia drummondii and zephyranthes drummondii
Are not synonyms and never were.    You have the synonyms correct.  Zephyranthes drummondii has a synonym of cooperia pedunculata.  Drummonds name was given to many texas species due to his extensive work here.  The thinner leaves and very long perianth /style are unique to z chlorosolen, which sounds like what you have.
