Tony, I love your article (and your polygeneric hybrid names!). But mainly I like how you explain what to do with over-lumping because of newly-found paraphyly. Can you talk someone into doing that with the now overly-lumped genus Zephyranthes? Having each branch of the family tree as well as the outliers all have their own distinctive genus name seems *so* much more logical—and informative—to me, but I’m not a botanist so what do I know?
