Crinum Broussoneti is a native of Sierra Leone, bearing, 
according to the strength of the plant, from one to six, or 
perhaps more, flowers. Bulb, stripped of its dead coats, 
purple. Leaves multifarious, tapering to a-point, channelled, 
_ undulated, green, with a rough margin; their undulation 
much less conspicuous when they have grown rapidly in a 
high temperature. Scape flattened, green, purplish at the 
base. Spathe green, purple in the part that covers the germen, 
Germen short, without peduncle. Corolla somewhat cup- 
shaped, but almost radiate at the time of its fullest expansion; 
tube green, being a little more than five inches long ; laci- 
niz four inches.long, five eights wide, ending with a purple 
hook; white, with a brownish purple stripe within, which on 
the outside is edged with green, especially on the exterior 
lacinie : filaments bent,- white; . anthers straw-coloured ; 
style bent, white, bright red towards the point. Stigma a 
point a little divided. Buds nodding, and much greener 
before their expansion. ee 
The genus Crinum appears to be extended all round the 
globe : generally in. situations shady, or moist, or subject to 
inundations.. It is distinguishabie by a long slender cylindrical 
quill-shaped tube, [often bent, and in most species partly 
persistent while the seed is ripening, and not withering with 
the limb of the corolla as in Amaryllis.] Filaments inserted 
at the mouth of the tube. Style slender. Stigma a point 
‘more or less triangular, sometimes at the moment. when it is - 
ripe for impregnation becoming almost, if not entirely, ear
