According to the tag, it's called a bridal veil jew, but I'm wondering if it's this pant....

Look up both Gibasis geniculata and Tripgandra multiflora....they're both often called 'Tahitian Bridal Veil' and/or 'Bridal Veil Jew'.

I'm not sure what the differences are, (if any?!).
It may even be that they're synonyms (but I don't *think* they are) or that one or the other was reclassified *as* the other....if that makes any sense??

From the photos I've seen, it looks like the Tripogandra flowers in longer 'sprays' and the Gibasis flowers closer to the stems??
