Dear Kamasani ji and Vijayasankar ji In an major revision of the genus in 2004 ( J.C.Manning & Goldblatt, Edinburgh J. Bot. 60: 556 2003 publ. 2004. and some earlier papers ) all species of Urginea have been shifted to Drimia.
Kamasani ji, I have tried to find the name *Urginea *raogibikei, it is in none of the online databases including IPNI. By the way species novo is written only in the original paper, and when referring to it we don't use the term species novo, rather give the reference or simply year of publication. It is logical, because every species on earth was species novo when first published. -- Dr. Gurcharan Singh Retired Associate Professor SGTB Khalsa College, University of Delhi, Delhi-110007 Res: 932 Anand Kunj, Vikas Puri, New Delhi-110018.
