I propose that Bulbocodium be merged into Colchicum. As Bulbocodium now have been unequivocally shown to be part of Colchicum (see Persson et al. (2011) A phylogenetic analysis of the genus Colchicum L. (Colchicaceae) based on sequences from six plastid regions. Taxon 60: 1349-1365), and the necessary nomenclatural changes has been done (see Persson (2007) Nomenclatural synopsis of the genus Colchicum (Colchicaceae), with some new species and combinations. Bot. Jahrb. Syst. 127: 165-242) the information about these species should be treated on the latter page. LeLoSo (talk) 19:35, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think you need a merger proposal for this one. Just go ahead and merge both genera using the sources and add Bulbocodium among the list of synonyms in Colchicum.-- Obsidi♠n Soul 19:47, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed; merge. --EncycloPetey (talk) 17:51, 26 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have adapted the content of the page Bulbocodium vernum and redirected it to a new page Colchicum bulbocodium.
B. vernum and B. versicolor were the only two, still accepted taxa of the genus Bulbocodium.
The taxon formerly called Bulbocodium versicolor is now considered as a subsp. of Colchicum bulbocodium.
I have integrated the current of the obsolete page Bulbocodium to into Colchicum bulbocodium and I have redirected it to Colchicum.

PS: I have this plant since many years in my garden. See the page I have created on it on the French wikipedia (fr:Colchicum bulbocodium), on which all pictures, but one (Gros plan de la fleur) are of my own. --Réginald alias Meneerke bloem (To reply) 09:48, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have in this new page integrated te content of the obsolete pages Bulbocodium and Bulbocodium vernum.
As I did in the page I have created on this species on the French site (fr:Bulbocodium vernum), I have added to it some pictures of my own, to illustrate other aspects of the plant. --Réginald alias Meneerke bloem (To reply) 09:53, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
