tatles, which are substantially united to the wall of the 
germ, and only seemingly so to each other in the centre. 
C. Zeylanicum and our other Indian Crinums have exact- 
ly the same germ, and all produce large bulbous seeds, 
Style filiform, declinate, projecting beyond the stamina. 
Stigma small, three-toothed. Pericarpium ; berry, as in 
the plants quoted in the last paragraph, a soft some- 
* what fleshy perishable envelope which covers one, two, 
or three, rarely more large, fleshy, bulbiform seeds; no ~ 
trace of either partitions or stutures to be found.

Grows wild on low, rich, uncultivated ground, and ge- 
nerally on the banks of rivers and water courses, Flow- 
"ers first in May, and continues doing so during the rainy 
season. ones 
Spathes two-leaved with linear membranaceous brac- ~ 
tes amongst the flowers. Corol ; tube very long, recurv- 
ed. Berries aud seeds exactly as in the other species. 
Note. When the plant is suffered to remain some years 
in the same place, it multiplies so much, as to throw the 
bulbs nearly even with the surface of the earth, and then — 
they appear to have stems, which are formed by the con- - 
centric sheathes of the leaves, as in the more pees cau- 
lescent species. Date asi! ps
