Dear Fernando,

> There certainly is "normal" B.liniflora in Darwin

The plants cultivated in Europe under the name

> B.sp.aff.liniflora "Darwin"

from seeds obtained via Dingley Home & Garden are quite certainly the
typical subspecies, so there seems to be quite a confusion already
surrounding the illegitimate "Darwin" name.

> I believe Allen may publish it soon as a subspecies of B.liniflora.

He should have done that years ago if he thinks it is distinct. For
discussions on bogus names cf. previous messages on this list...

Kind regards
Jan
