CRINUM

This article appears in Volume V07, Page 466 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CRE-DAH
CRINUM , a genus (nat. ord. Amaryllidaceae) of bulbous plants with rather broad leaves and a solid leafless
stem
 , bearing a cluster of handsome white or red funnel-shaped
regular
 
flowers
 . They are well known in cultivation, and owing to the wide distribution of the genus different methods are adopted with different species. Some require the hot, moist temperature of a stove; such are C. amabile, a native of Sumatra, C. amoenum (India), C. Balfourii (Socotra), C. giganteum (West tropical Africa), C. Kirkii (
Zanzibar
 ), C. latifolium (India), C. zeylanicum (tropical
Asia
  and Africa), and others. Others thrive in a green-
house
 ; such are C. asiaticum, a widely distributed plant on the sea-
coast
  of tropical
Asia
 , C. capense and C. longiflorum, from the Cape, and C. Macowani and C. Moorei from
Natal
 . C. asiaticum, C. capense and C. Macowani will also thrive in sheltered positions in the
garden
 .
