What is the difference with autumnalis?

I think Acis autumnalis var. oporantha is the correct name.
I think the second nursery have muddled the old name Leucojum subsp. operanthus with the new and come up with a hybrid name!

It seems that Acis can often have those two flowers per stem - very nice!
