This fine Crinum, amongst the first in magnitude, is a 
native of the Birman Empire, in the neighbourhood of 
_ Rangoon, from whence it was brought into cultivation by 
Dr. Carry, to whose kindness we are indebted for bulbs 
_ thereof, transmitted to the Spofforth collection from Cal- 
cutta. He informs us, that it thrives there freely, increasi 
in the same manner as C. pedunculatum and the Bengal 
- amenum, by the splitting of the main bulb into two equal. 
parts. It is remarkable for its thick short columnar stem, 
and its tall broad upright leaves. Its flowers are very like 
_ those of the mules between C. canaliculatum and capense. 
_ It is impatient of damp in confined air, and the bulbs first 
_ Sent were thus lost. ; 
We have been lately favoured with a bulb of Dr. Carey’s 
ggg C. verecundum, .
