gladuliferum

[Stone]

Just bough a seedling gland. x gland. but not sure if that's a valid sp.
What's the latest thinking? Thanks

There is no glanduliferum in cultivation. Nothing being grown matches the original description and type, according to a thorough analysis by Eric C. a few years back.

What has been grown as glanduliferum has been praestans, so that's probably what you have.

Thank you, praestans it is.

Then there's the Kew Monocot checklist, a noble attempt. They show both praestans and gardineri as later synonyms of glanduliferum (1894 v. 1892). Wilhelminiae is shown as a separate species. I have several plants of both "praestans" and wilhelminiae and adore them.
