Dear David,
it's not so strange if there are some mistakes in the Database, as everybody can upload his own informations to the site.
It would be helpful if someone can confirm or not the new uploads (on the basys of the official checklist and nomenclature).
Bob, Dennis, what do you think? Too much work, maybe...
Anyway, I think Dietes vegeta doesn't exist. I know (and grow) a Moraea vegeta, but never heard about Dietes with the same name, except for old and erroneus synonims.
I grow in my garden only 4 species of Dietes: grandiflora, iridioides, bicolor and robinsoniana. All these 4 species are really different each other in habitus and no one of them is similar to the "vegeta" shown on the Database.
The first 3 species are from central-south Africa, and D. robinsoniana (the bigger of the genus) if from the Lord Howe Island, near Australia.
About Neomarica I can't say more. I grow only N. candida and N. caerulea, so I don't know the other species.
