Discussion of a dark-colored Chionodoxa larger than C. sardensis made me
think of two larger, darker-flowered plants I have here, one that is quite
tall and is probably C. siehei, and another I grew from seed under the name
C. tmolii. I thought I remembered a discussion of the genus in Brian
Mathew's late lamented "Bulb Newsletter," but I find the note (in issue no.
7) to be quite short and not committed to identifying C. tmoli (not tmolii,
for reasons Brian explains) with better-understood taxa. The note also
mentions that at the time (1994) a National Collection of Chionodoxa was
held by Alan Dickinson. Does anyone know if he still has this collection?
