. A native of various parts of the Eaft-Indies, where it grows — 
in moift fituations, chiefly by the fides of rivers ; we hear that 
it is found alfo in New South-Wales growing to a great fize, 
as it does fometimes in our ftoves, where it is ufually kept im 
the tan-pit. Cultivated at Chelfea, by P. Miter. 
The figure above quoted from Mirxer’s Jcones, though 
referred to in Hortus Kewenfis as a fynonym of Crinu 
erubefcens, evidently belongs to our plant; as do thofe
