DOUBTFUL SPECIES. 
C. BREVIFOLIUM, var. a, Hort. Beng.; C. bracteatum, Bot. Reg. t. 179; mE 
in Bot. Mag. under t. 2121, f. 4. * From Sundeep near Chittagong.” —Roxburg = 
C. brevifolium (Fl. Ind. ii. 129, introduced into the Calcutta Gardens from r 
Mauritius) is a native of the Seychelles according to Baker, and referable to oh 
bracteatum, Willd., and to asiaticum, var. bracteatum, Herb., it is a Stenaster Wi 
lorate leaves 1-13 ft. by 3—4 in. broad with crisped margins, scape much compres 
10-20-füd., perianth-tube slender 23-3 in., lobes white; cells of ovary pen 
Specimens of any Sundeep Crinum should be procured for the determination o 
plant. 
C. CANALIFOLIUM, Herb. in Bot. Mag. under t. 2121; Amaryllid. 258 (5 
canaliculatum, Carey, non Rock), is altogether doubtful. (See under 10 prae^" 
C. ERYTHROPHYLLUM, Carey mss. ez Herb. in Bot. Mag. sub t. 2121; Amaryl 
259), from Rangoon, with deep blood-red leaves, is mentioned by Herbert as 9a 
been cultivated in Calcutta by Carey, but lost before flowering. 
C. MACROCARPUM, Carey mss, ex Herb. in Bot. Mag. l. c., from Rangoon P 
doubtfully referred by Herbert and Baker (Handb. of Amaryllid. 75) to Cum ^ vet, 
Roxb. (Bot. Reg. t. 1049), a species of sect. Stenaster, with long narrow rig} 
the fruit as large as a. man's fist, and seeds 2 in. broad. 
C. (Stenaster) PEDUNCULATUM, Br. Prodr. 297; Bot. Reg. t. 52; Bury Hexand- 
Pl. t. ii.; Herb. Amaryllid. 246; Baker Handb. of Amaryllid. 77. This £ Zeg 
lian species probably occurs in the Malay Islands and Peninsula. A leafless CY “300 
from Penang (Curtis, No. 1274) and Wallich’s C. asiaticum, 8969 D, from Fin nz 
(Siam ?) strongly resemble it. It differs from C. asiaticum only in the tock. 
pedicelled flowers, and according to the Bot. Reg. in the elongated jn" 
Jentham (Fl. Austral. vi, 455) doubts the Bot. Reg. plant being the true pe^ 
latum, and suspects that the true is only C. asiaticum (as do I). 
C. (Platyaster) srRICTUM, Herb. in Bot. Mag. l. c. aud t. 2365 ; Amar 
253, 401; Baker l. c. 86 (C. Herbertianum, Schult, Syst. vii. 871); bulb m. 
ovoid, leaves 12 by 2-23 in. suberect lorate obtuse margins smooth, scape twie ip. 
long as the leaves, umbels about 4-fld., spathes 3—4 in., perianth-tube about e, 
green, lobes 3-4 by $ in. white an inch longer than the red filaments. —Ce it 
Hort. Herbert.—Baker considers it to be allied to the American Platyasters; 
may therefore have been imported into Ceylon. 
C. UMBELLATUM, Carey ew Herb. in Bot. Mag. l. c.—Of this Herbert 27" 
that it is perhaps a small var. of C. brevifolium.
