Garg ji yes to this question, "Thanks, Viplav ji. I think we should accordingly take our images at Agapanthus africanus (Cultivated) <https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/species/a---l/a/amaryllidaceae/agapanthus/agapanthus-africanus> as *Agapanthus praecox* Willd. or its hybrids. Is it OK ?"
on that page <https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/species/a---l/a/amaryllidaceae/agapanthus/agapanthus-africanus> , esp Gurcharanji's case, only he has taken the trouble to find out and tell us that it was *an evergreen * information in plain english for gardeners : the following snipptes are from daves garden <https://davesgarden.com/guides/articles/view/3349>: ... Classification of *Agapanthus* is confusing, and even experts have difficulty. Over the years, *Agapanthus *has changed families several times, being at one time or another assigned to *Liliaceae *(lily)*, *and *Alliaceae *(onion)*, *or being assigned its own monotypic family, *Agapanthaceae. *APG III taxonomic system assigns it to the family *Amaryllidaceae *and recognizes these species <http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/splist.pl?280>: *A. africanus, A. campanulatus *(with one subspecies)*, A. caulescens, A. inapertus *(with five subspecies)*, *and *A. praecox* (with three subspecies)*.* The APG III taxonomic system <http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/splist.pl?280> does not recognize *A. orientalis, *but it does list *A. praecox *subsp. *orientalis. * Since it is generally recognized by most experts that almost *all the evergreen agapanthus in cultivation are cultivars or hybrids of * *A. praecox * *etc * this page is short treasure of whats in US gardens. https://davesgarden.com/guides/articles/view/3349 thanks for the references Viplav. usha di On Tue, Sep 11, 2018 at 10:06 PM, Saroj Kasaju <[email protected]> wrote: > Thank you Viplav Ji ! > > Saroj Kasaju > > On Tue, Sep 11, 2018 at 7:36 PM, J.M.
