Ornithogalum (Liliaceae)

[Alex at Mizzou1.Missouri.eduBuchanan]

Dear Taxacomers,

Is there anyone out there with a particular interest in Ornithogalum?

The genus is sparingly naturalised in Tasmania and until recently, only O.
umbellatum had been recorded. However, a recent collection matches more
closely the description (Flora Europaea) of O. orthophyllum but with some
uncertainty.

If anyone with expertise in this genus would care to examine the material
please reply off line.

Cheers,  Dennis Morris and Alex Buchanan
