Summary Ravenna, P.: Nothoscordum gracile and N. borbonicum (Alliaceae). ‐ Taxon 40: 485–487. 1991. ‐ ISSN 0040‐0262. The weedy species long known as Nothoscordum fragrans is N. borbonicum Kunth, not N. gracile. It is postulated that N. borbonicum originated as a natural hybrid between two wild species, N. entrerianum and genuine N. gracile , in the area of Buenos Aires, Argentina. The differences between N. gracile and N. borbonicum are given. Nothoscordum subg. Euryscordum (type: N. gracile ) is proposed to replace N. subg. Platyscordum , the type of which, N. inodorum , belongs in Allium.
