Title: Re: St Bernard's Lily - correct nomenclature?
I note that the some sources also refer to Anthericum ramosum as St. Bernard’s-lily or branched St Bernard's-lily, while John Bryan’s reference book “Bulbs” lists St Bernard's-lily as Anthericum liliago.  Is there some confusion over the correct name?

I was looking over the spring 2017 Odyssey Perennials catalogue
at www.odysseyperennials.com <http://www.odysseyperennials.com/>

and came across this item:
St Bernard's Lily, Anthericum ramosum
It looks very much like something I saw on some backroads in Ireland this past summer.  I had never heard of the genus before and when I checked the picture, it took me back to one of the more enjoyable parts of my trip.  It’s probably not the same plant, but I just had to order it. My old Hortus Third says it’s native to western & southern Europe – not a big hop to Ireland, eh?
So – does anyone on this list grow it or know it?  Anything to tell me about it?
