Organisation

These species have at various times been organised into sections or subgera or the entire genus split into separate genera, depending on the classification system used. For instance the three species O. broteroi Lainz, O. concinnum Salisb. and O. reverchonii Lange may be considered as a subgenus of Ornithogalum (subg. Cathissa (Salisb.) Baker or as a separate genus, Cathissa Salisb..
