The article currently states that the plant was named for Augustus Henry, and gives a reference of Allen J. Coombes, The Hamlyn Guide to Plant Names, p118, Reed International Books, London, 1985, ISBN0600575454. I don't have this work to hand, but other works give the person it was named for as Augustine Henry; e.g. Bailey, Manual of Cultivated Plants, and Synge, Collins Guide to Bulbs. Since it was also introduced to Europe by Augustine Henry, and because Augustus Henry appears to have had no connections with botany or China, this is likely to be an error. Hence I'm replacing this entry. Imc (talk) 08:09, 18 September 2010 (UTC)Reply
