If you find out, please post and let us know.

Will do...have heard nothing back from the poster, or anyone else on the trade thread offering info there.

I suspect it is really Eremurus, and maybe whoever sold it claimed or described it as a rare variety. I see that a lot on the net.

Sounds like a case of Creative Marketing! There is no Genus by that name in the Plantae Kingdom, per the International Plant Names Index (IPNI).
I would be extremely cautious trading with someone that is so ignorant regarding the plants they have. Obviously, not an obsessed gardener, like some of us!

Thanks RB,

You confirmed what I had thought.

I will occasionally (well maybe even frequently) misspell things, but will be the first to admit that I 'could' be wrong.

I've given up any thought of trading for this rare (?) misnamed bulb.

I think I was duped by a duper, as he got a little rude when I posted this....

Others chimed in as well on the trade thread, and then most of it was deleted.

I'm just glad I was just duped by the name, and not by the expense of trading.
