Crinum
''Crinum'' is a genus of about 180 species of perennial plants that have large showy flowers on leafless stems, and develop from bulbs. They are found in seasonally moist areas, including marshes, swamps, depressions and along the sides of streams and lakes in tropical and subtropical areas worldwide. Description ''Crinum'' leaves are basal, typically long and strap-shaped, with colors ranging from light green to green. Cytological studies have shown some 27 species of Crinum to be diploid with a normal chromosome count of 2n = 22. Abilio Fernandes found that the Orange River '' Crinum bulbispermum'' had a count of 2n = 66, and some desert '' Crinum macowanii'' 2n = 44. These polyploid species produce seeds that are often parthenogenetic triploid or diploids, lack vigour and seldom grow to mature plants. Taxonomy , the World Checklist of Selected Plant Families lists 105 species of ''Crinum''. Amongst these are: *''Crinum americanum'' L. – southern swamplily, seven siste ...

Crinum Pedunculatum
''Crinum pedunculatum'' also known as the swamp lily, river lily or mangrove lily, is a bulbous perennial found in stream and tidal areas of the Northern Territory, Queensland and New South Wales, Australia as well as New Guinea and some Pacific Islands. It is unclear whether it is native or introduced to Norfolk Island. ''C. pedunculatum'' is considered by some sources to be a synonym of ''Crinum asiaticum'' var. ''pedunculatum''., search for "Crinum pedunculatum" The differences between ''C. asiaticum'' and ''C. pedunculatum'' are subtle. The latter tends to be somewhat smaller, but has broader petals, giving it a less fragile appearance. It is a very large bulbous perennial plant, up to 2 to 3 metres tall, with a spread of up to 3 metres. It likes either full sun or partial shade. It is usually found on the edge of forests, but also at the high tide level close to mangroves. The white, fragrant flowers are in a cluster with 10 to 100 flowers on an umbel. Cultivation and us ...

Crinum Thaianum
''Crinum thaianum'', Common name Thai Onion plant or Water onion, is an emergent plant species endemic to coastal plain of southern Thailand in Ranong and Phang Nga Provinces. Its natural habitat is along the banks of running streams, where its roots and bulb are submerged but the flowering holds the umbel of large, showy flowers above the surface. This natural habits make it a wonderful addition for tropical aquaria, and it is sold in many lands to be used in decorating displays of tropical fish. In nature, however, the species is threatened and diminishing in numbers due to habitat destruction. Description Long, up to 60 inches (150 cm) (or longer), tough, ribbon-like bright green leaves grow from a bulb that looks much like an onion.

Ammocharis Heterostyla
''Ammocharis'' is a small genus from sub-Saharan Africa, in the family Amaryllidaceae (subfamily Amaryllidoideae) which includes seven species distributed in Africa. The plant grows as above-ground bulb, preferring seasonally wet, hot, sandy soils and full sun. Taxonomy Herbert segregated ''Ammocharis'' from ''Crinum'' in 1821, with two species, ''A. coranica'' and ''A. falcata'' (both originally ''Amaryllis''). He also placed one of Linnaeus' original ''Amaryllis'' species, ''A. longifolia'', in ''Crinum'' as ''C. capense''. This species would also eventually find its way into ''Ammocharis''. In 1847 Roemer placed ''Amaryllis longifolia'' in ''Ammocharis'' as ''Ammocharis longifolfolia'', (Linn.) Roem. without realising it was conspecific with ''Ammocharis falcata''. However many subsequent authors included only the two original species. A major review of the genus was undertaken by Milne-Redhead and Schweickerdt in 1939. In their recircumscription they identified five sp ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
× Amarcrinum
The scientific name × ''Amarcrinum'' is applied to those hybrid plants obtained from artificial crosses between the genera ''Amaryllis'' and ''Crinum'', although , the World Checklist of Selected Plant Families regards the name as "unplaced". They are grown as ornamental plants in gardens. Description There are several variations possible since many species of ''Crinum'' can be combined with either of the two species of ''Amaryllis'' to produce hybrids with different characteristics. In general, almost all the hybrids have been between ''Crinum powellii'' and ''Amaryllis belladonna''. This bulbous garden perennial has wide, deep green, tough, leathery, strap-shaped leaves to 60 cm long. The flower colour and exact growth habit will vary depending on which parental species have been used to make the cross but all of them are sweetly scented like ''Amaryllis'' with the tidy habit of evergreen ''Crinum''.
