Bury writes: “This Crinum was first flowered by Mr. Herbert [British botanist William Herbert, 1778-1847], who imported it from the East Indies, and it is still a scarce plant—the present specimen flowered in the Liverpool Botanic Garden; the bulb is very much elongated at the neck, and so scaly as almost to lose the character of a true bulb, dark brown, raising itself almost entirely above the soil, and throwing out thick, tuberous, fleshy roots on every side.” See also numbers 64 and 105.
