Crinum x amabile Donn is my guess.

Amaryllidaceae.

Ritesh.

Ritesh ji,

It does look like Crinum x amabile Donn, Giant Spider Lily.

Thanks & regards,

Aarti

Dear all,

Resurfacing my earlier post.

Ritesh ji has suggested Crinum x amabile Donn.

Pankaj ji has suggested  Crinum asiaticum.

I could get the flowering during this visit.

Kindly validate.

Regards,

Aarti

To me it looks like Crinum x amabile Donn.

Thanks

Hi, Manoj ji,

Can we take it as Crinum × amabile ?

Garg Sir,

Difficult to say. I do not have any literature right now.

A lot of hybrid forms are available (commercially) in Crinum.

Thanks Garg Ji and Manoj Ji.

So this is still a guess.

How do you differentiate between Crinum asiaticum, as suggested by Pankaj Ji, and Crinum x amabile?

01. Quoting from Baker's Handbook of the Amaryllideae (1988):
Perianth white; tube erect, tinged with green, 3-4 in. long; segments linear, 2-3 in. long. Stamens tinged with red, 2 in. long:  Crinum asiaticum
Perianth-tube erect, cylindrical, bright red (other literature have quoted as purple also), 3-4 in. long; segments 4-5 in. long, red on the outside: Crinum amabile

02. Quoting from Afroz et al. (2018). TAXONOMIC REVISION OF THE GENUS CRINUM L. (LILIACEAE) OF BANGLADESH. Bangladesh J. of Pl Taxonomy 25 (2): 257-271.
Scape purplish, shorter than the leaves: Crinum amabile
Scape green, longer than the leaves: Crinum asiaticum

I think we should go with Crinum x amabile

Regards,

Ritesh

Many thanks Ritesh Ji.

I can add more pictures if required.

I hope you will go through my recent post of Crinum Lilies seen at the 'Friends of the Trees' Exhibition in Mumbai.
