References
- ^ William Herbert wrote the name of this genus with three different ortographies: "Boophane" in 1821; "Buphane" and Buphone" in 1825, and he conserved "Boophone" in 1837. Several authors since then especulated about the ethymology and associated orthography of each name, but a proposal was published in 2001 (R. H. Archer, R. K. Brummitt, D. A. Snijman. 2001. Proposal to conserve the name Boophone Herbert with that spelling (Amaryllidaceae) Taxon, ISSN 0040-0262, Vol. 50, Nº 2, pags. 569-572) to conserve the first name and to take the laters as synonyms
