Elegant White from Hooghly

[surajit koley]

Madam / Sir,

I see this flower after a gap of about 3 years. But i remember that it was common even two decades ago. Don't know the particular species. Please take a note on its filaments. Couldn't get to closer because of the fear of snakes.

This is a LF plant for Polytela gloriosae moth. Attaching a photograph of the caterpillars of the same, identified by 'diversityIndia' / 'mothIndia' group. Needless to say, the moth is also getting rarer.

Species : Crinum sp.

Habit & Habitat : wild herb, roadside jungle

Date : 12-05-12, 10.31 a.m.; 09-07-09 (moth cat.)

Place : Gobra Beledanga (Hooghly)

Thank you & Regards,

Surajit Koley

After pursuing the species available in India as per details at Hymenocallis‎, I feel it is more closer to images of Hymenocallis littoralis as per details below:
