#January 12, 1778
#OTD William Herbert, British #Botanist & #Clergyman, is born.

William confused #Gardener-s after he split the Amaryllis genera into #Amaryllis & #Hippeastrum.

There's only one species in the original Amaryllisllis genus - the #Belladonna.

The Hippeastrum genera has 90 species, including the big #Bulbs we pot up in the #Winter & refer to as Amaryllis. But really, they are Hippeastrum - a name that doesn't roll off the tongue & has never caught on.

Hippeastrum: Stamens with filaments (white) ending in anthers carrying pollen surrounded by pink/white petals.
