The Pancratium carolinensis is based by Linnaeus on an illustration by Mark Catesby. Thus the www.inaturalist.org/taxa/202345-Hymenocallis-occidentalis seens appropriate based on the FNA. I already reid the Florida specimen and I shall ID the Madagascar one as Hymenocallis. I am really not comfortable ID these at species level. Thanks.
Hope this swap can be reversed. Hymenocallis carolininiana is as far as I know still an active taxon and is NOT closely related to African and Mediterranean Pancratium.
