TL;DR: The combined sequence data produce the most resolved and best-supported phylogeny, wherein Hymenocallis and Ismene are monophyletic sister genera and support an origin for the tribe in the Andes, with vicariant distribution of the largely Mesoamerican Hymencallis.
Abstract: The generic limits of Hymenocallis have been variously proposed by different taxonomic workers, often without discussion or data. The genera Leptochiton, Ismene, Elisena, and Pseudostenomesson have been included with Hymenocallis, lumped together as the genus Ismene, or maintained as distinct genera. Recent cladistic analysis of plastid and nrDNA for Amaryllidaceae support a distinct tribe Hymenocallideae. Cladistic analyses of morphology, and plastid (trnL-F region) and nuclear ribosomal DNA (ITS) are presented alone and in combination for the tribe. Leptochiton is sister to the rest of the genera in the tribe in all analyses. While Hymenocallis is always resolved as monophyletic, Ismene is variably paraphyletic or monophyletic. The combined sequence data produce the most resolved and best-supported phylogeny, wherein Hymenocallis and Ismene are monophyletic sister genera. These data support an origin for the tribe in the Andes, with vicariant distribution of the largely Mesoamerican Hymenocallis. Formal recognition of Ismene subg. Elisena and Pseudostenomesson is established.

TL;DR: This much disputed line of Sofocles' Antigone is to be assigned to Ismene: it would not suit antigone's mind and behaviour as mentioned in this paper, and therefore it was not suited to her.

TL;DR: This scene constitutes the first meeting between Antigone and her sister Ismene since their dramatic parting at the end of the first scene, in which, as Jebb says (Antig. Introd., p. xxix), there has been shown to be a spiritual division which no emotional after-impulse can cancel as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: This scene constitutes the first meeting between Antigone and her sister Ismene since their dramatic parting at the end of the first scene, in which, as Jebb says ( Antig . Introd., p. xxix), there has been shown to be ‘a spiritual division which no emotional after-impulse can cancel’. It is plainly seen that Ismene can never rise to taking part with Antigone in Polyneices’ burial; Antigone realizes this; so do the spectators, and no further scene should be required to emphasize it.

TL;DR: Clinanthus inflatus (Amaryllidaceae) and Ismene parviflora are described from Ancash Department in Peru, and the flower of C. inflatus is urceolate, and resembles that of Urceolina, a unique morphology for the genus.
Abstract: Clinanthus inflatus (Amaryllidaceae) and Ismene parviflora are described from Ancash Department in Peru. The flower of C. inflatus is urceolate, and resembles that of Urceolina (Amaryllidaceae tr. Eucharideae), a unique morphology for the genus. Ismene parviflora, with its small, loosely formed, narrowly funnelform-tubular perigone with a ventricose limb, appears to have some affinity to subgen. Pseudostenomesson and may represent an intermediate form between the former and species of subgen. Ismene. Stenomesson rubrum is transferred to Clinanthus as C. ruber on the basis of its narrowly lorate leaf morphology.
