albuca = ornithogalum = ???

12 years ago

I've noticed that the genus names 'ornithogalum' and 'albuca'Ã¯Â¿Â½ seem to be interchangeable. a.concordiana vs. o.concordiana is one of several examples. Is one of these genus poorly defined, or are the experts at odds with each other over the definitions?
Thanks,

I looked them up and both are accepted names for different genera. It's not unusual for epithets to turn up in several genera as sometimes there's something in the characteristics that's similar, such as "longifolia", or to do with location "australis", or someone's name.
