This small species of Crinum flowers freely in the stove 
at Spofforth, and increases by offsets. It was brought from 
the East, by Captain Craeie, to Mr. Mize of the Fulham 
Nursery, by whom the original bulb was sold to Mr. 
Cartriey, unto whose kindness we were indebted for an 
offset. It was mentioned in our appendix, p. 24, as being 
perhaps a tag of C. amenum, from which it appears to 
be sufficiently distinct. C. amaenum has smooth glossy 
leaves, and sessile flowers, and is a plant of difficult culture. 
C. humile thrives readily with us, has pedunculated flowers, 
and leaves deeply pitted on the surface, and thicker. We 
could not ascertain where the bulb was taken on board. 
_ It is certainly unknown at Calcutta. W. H. 
N. B. The figure of the plant is diminished.
