Former is differentiated by white perianth and latter two by perianth red at least on outside. The author admits C. augustum as "doubtfully specifically distinct from A. amabile" differing in larger bulbs (up to 15 cm in diam.), less fragrant, and broader perianth segments (12-20 mm broad) as against smaller bulb, highly fragrant flowers and 10-12 mm broad segments. C. asiaticum is considered as a very variable species with bulb 10-13 cm in diam, flowers highly fragrant, white, with 10-12 mm broad segments; Bulbous herbs; bulb globose, 12 x 10 cm, neck 10-20 cm. Leaves clustered from the apex of bulbs, oblong, 70-100 x 1.5-8.5 cm, flat, coriaceous, glabrous, narrow at base, margin entire, apex gradually tapering. Scape to 30 cm long, often more, 1-2 cm across; umbels 10-17 cm, 30(50)-flowered; bracts hooded, ovate-lanceolate, 7-8.5 x 4.5 -5 cm; bracteoles to 5 cm. Flowers to 16.5 cm long, 10(14) cm across. Perianth salver-shaped; tube to 10 cm; lobes white, oblong-linear, to 7 x 1.2 cm, glabrous, 18-20 nerved, subacute, cuspidate. Filaments to 4.5 cm; anthers 2x0.2 cm. Ovary 3-celled; ovule(s) 1 or 2; style to 15 cm. Flowering and fruiting: April-July Sandy coasts and wet places in deciduous forests South India and Sri Lanka Crinum asiaticum is a BULB growing to 1.2 m (4ft). It is hardy to zone 8. It is in flower from Jun to August. The flowers are hermaphrodite (have both male and female organs) and are pollinated by Insects The bulb contains alkaloids, notably lycorine and crinamine[283]. A poultice made from the heated, pounded, fresh bulb is used to relieve osteodynia and rheumatism[283]. The juice of the fresh bulb is used as an emetic, whilst it is also instilled in the ear to treat otis[283]. A poultice of the heated, pounded, fresh leaves is used to treat contusions, sprains, fractures, luxations etc[283]. A decoction of the dried leaves is used as a wash in the treatment of haemorrhoids[283].
(From PFAF ) Crinum from Andamans: Photo: 2011-01-08
Elephant Beach, Havelock Island, Andaman Islands Plant growing on the beach (sandy). Leaves nearly 1 m. No flowers but fruits. Not sure if Crinum can be identified without flowers. So is this C.asiaticum? or something else. - This looks like C. asiaticum the "Sukhdarshan" as it is popularly called. - it is Crinum asiaticum.
- For C. asiaticum the bulb would have a neck 30 cm long; Leaves to be flat, nearly 2 m long and 15 cm wide. Scapes have to be 3 cm wide and upto 1 m long. - This plant can for sure have a bulb neck that is 30 cm long as you cant see the bulb at all. Leaves length depends on light, nutrients and water availability so I guess this specimen growing in sand on sunny sea-shore never will have leaves of 2 m length. There are also many different cultivars of C. asiaticum that shows a big difference in general size, leaf shape and colour. efloraofindia:''For Id 16102011MR2’’ ? fruit of Crinum asiaticum Pune: This had flowered 2 months back and now I see this bulbous fruit like structure.

It might be Crinum asiaticum L.; F. B. I. vi. 280. Yes Crinum asiaticum. Crinum asiaticum from me too There is a special note in Flora Indica, vol. p135; and the illustration mentioned there, is - http://www.plantillustrations.org/illustration.php?id_illustration=8121 Hooghly sk-nov-03 - ornamental Crinum sp. : 11 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (7) This is 4ft ornamnetal Crinum, found 29-Oct-2014, having 20+ flowers on its scape. very common even back in the dark ages, our college campus had lots of thesenice scent when flowers first opened. alas for the new students seems to be crinum asiaticum I have seen Crinum asiaticum, which is very stout plant, my post of that particular individual is at efi thread. This may be a cultivar, I do not know, but I would say it is much weaker than the one I saw. what does weker mean got less nutrition? less water? more competition? Yes Didi, "weaker" doesn't mean anything, these individuals can be young plant too. But as per Flora Indica flowers of Crinum toxicarium Roxb. are "almost inodorous" and as per Sir Prain leaves are 5 inch or more wide. The leaves here a little less, the widest region about 11 cm. But, at the same time I must say that cultivars perhaps defy rules, or do have added or sometime lacking type characters. It blooms in my house in Delhi every year, though very few species of plants stay happy here. it just dawned on me this dawn that there may be micro-nutrient deficiency in the soil where its growing may be that's why its "weak" looking? look around at the other plants near it.. any browning of the tips of leaves? any yellowing? or other discoloration? No, Didi, the soil is nutrient-rich, and this plant maybe type species of Crinum asiaticum L., as you have suggested earlier. Pedicellate flower, length and width of leaves, length of perianth tube and lobes do match and FoC has fragrant flowers. Roxburgh's toxicarium may not be type species, and I do not know anything of the endless type botanists do have. Requesting to please ID this lily from a beach resort at Varca, Goa in May 2015. Is it Crinum asiaticum? Thank you ... for the possible ID. Hoping to get it validated. Yes Crinum asiaticum. Clicked this lily species near Patan, GJ in March 2018. Is this some Crinum secies? Requested to please ID. Pl. check

I too remember these Lily flowers being used in the past.

I have a strong feeling that I have mistaken the ID of the posted plant. It must be Crinum asiaticum L. Please validate. Have you edited the heading? It's saying Crinum asiaticum var. pedunculatum The heading was put when I posted initially, when I had arrived to intraspecific taxon- var pedunculatum. Now I have a strong feeling that the plant is Crinum asiaticum. C. a. var pedunculatum is as I understand, could be as wide as C. asiaticum, but relatively quite shorter plant. Catalogue of life does not give gives distribution of Crinum asiaticum var. pedunculatum (R.Br.) Fosberg & Sachet in India. Distribution given is Caroline Is.; Cocos (Keeling) Is.; Gilbert Is.; Marianas; Marshall Is.; Nauru; New Caledonia; New Guinea; New South Wales; Norfolk Is.; Northern Territory; Queensland; Society Is.; Tonga; Vanuatu While it gives its distribution in India for Crinum asiaticum var. asiaticum Thank you very very much ... for the information and validation. Though var. pedunculatum is not distributed, I thought whether it is cultivated as ornamental plants in gardens in our country. Crinum asiaticum : 3 posts by 3 authors.
