So what Oron calls Drimia maritima is what was previously called Urginea maritima

And as Oron is clearly very upto date with taxonomy    ;D ;)
what he calls Prospero was previously included in part of Scilla.  

Not an easy task Diane, for each new name i learn , ten names are being deleted automatically...
Probably the age or my brain  is just transforming to become a bulb ;)
