Burma, the MALAY PENINSULA and ANDAMAN IsLANDs.—DisrRiB. Malay 
Islands. . 
Rootstock hardly any; base of stem stoloniferous. Leaves 1-2 ft. by 143-25 ins 
petiole 1 ft. or less. Ovary oblong or globose ; stipes of male fl. much longer than 
of the bisexual and more slender. Fruit 1 in. long, clavate or pyriform, hairy. 
Seeds black, shining (granular in Wight’s figure). 
There are four principal forms :—1. Leaves 11-2 ft. by 4-5 in. sparsely villous 
beneath, petiole slender, flowers small in a dense ovoid head (Singapore, Java)— 
2. Leaves 1-1} ft. by 1-1} in. sparsely villous beneath, petiole slender, heads small, 
flowers larger } in. diam. (Wight Ic. t. 2042 and Andaman Islands).—3. Leaves 
1-1} ft. by 14-2 in. glabrous beneath, petiole slender, heads small few-fld. (Penang 
Malacca).—4, Leaves 8-12 by 2-3 in., quite glabrous, longer than their petioles, 
heads dense-fld. (Burma, Malacca, Borneo). 
Var. villosa, Baker l. c. ; leaves coriaceous cobwebby beneath, petiole very stout, 
heads dense-fld., bracts oblong obtuse and nearly glabrous. C. villosa, Wall. Cat.

3. CRINUM, Linn. 
Rootstock bulbous. Leaves elongate, lorate or ensiform. Scape solid. 
Flowers large, umbelled ; spathes 2; bracts linear. Perianth funnel- or 
salver-shaped, tube straight cr upcurved, lobes linear-to oblong. Stamens 
on the throat of the perianth, erect spreading or declinate ; anthers linear 
dorsifixed. Style filiform, stigma minute; ovules few or many. 47" 
subglobose, membranous or coriaceous, bursting irregularly. Seeds few, 
large, rounded, testa thick; albumen very copious.—Species about 60, 
tropical Asiatic, African, Australian and American. 
. The identification by herbarium specimens of this genus is impossible, and I hav 
little confidence in the following attempt to systematize the Indian ones, 1n whic 
have been guided by Herbert and Baker.
