Crinum arenarium (a) Vide supra 2355. W.H. 
The specimen from which our figure of this variety of 
Crinum arenarium was taken, flowered at the nu of 
of Mr. Knicut, in the King’s Road, Chelsea, in July 1822. 
it differs from the water island variety, No. 2355, in having 
— peduncles, white filaments, the stigma much smaller, 
an the petals tinged with red on the outside. This species 
1s particularly distinguishable, by a style longer than the 
limb, filaments much shorter and conniving before they 
— a pedunculated germen very short and almost 
round, and an ovate bulb, of which the old coats are of a 
brownish straw colour. The filaments are knobbed at 
their insertion. The appearance of the foliage produced 
by the same bulb is very variable. . 
Native of the coast of Australia and the adjacent islands 
within the tropics. WH.
