very like that of Crinum capense and Litrum Pomponium. 
Por the above description we are chiefly indebted to 
the Honourable Wm. Herserr. 
According to Mr. Hersert’s definition of Crinum, which 
we have adopted, this plant comes under that genus, and the 
specific name of flaccidum having the right of priority, we 
have preferred it to australasicum, especially as there are 
other Crinums in New Holland. 
The Crinum flaceidum is a native of New Holland, and 
was discovered in the same expedition that produced the 
purple and yellow Calostemmas, before published, “ under 
the Macquarie Range in East longitude about 146, and about 
33 of South latitude.” 
Our drawing was taken at the Chelsea Garden in September 
1819, to which it was introduced by Barron Fretp, Esq. 
Judge of the Supreme Court of Civil Judicature in New 
South Wales.
