It is true that Salisbury seems to have thought the Ornithogalum - 
luteum of Linneeus distinct from O. luteum Sm., placing the former 
as a synonym of O. pratense Pers. (G. bracteolaris Salisb.) ; but

considered Smith’s plant identical with that of Linneus, retaining 
O. pratense as distinct under the name of G. pratensis Schultes.
