Just wanted to know who put forma purpureum as synonym of C. elenorae,
because BSI treat them distinct plant, (Flora of Maharashtra by
B.D.Sharma, S. Karthikeyan and N.P.Singh, 1996)

forma purpureum has perigone deeply tinged with purple on the dorsal
side and perigone tube with bracts uniformly brown-purple.

regards,

Yes HS ... am with you where species described are indeed different to our plain eye, yet are treated synonymous ... but again, have put here what appears at The Plants List.
Will change the synonymy according what is clarified here in this thread.

Calling Gurcharan ji OR any friend who is into this study.

Regards.

Though the picture in original post now belongs to Crinum woodrowii Baker ... would like to put here the revised version of names of Crinum eleonorae Blatt. & McCann ... considered as an extinct plant.

KRY-num or KREE-num -- Greek: krinon, meaning lily ... Dave's Botanary
el-ee-oh-NAWR-ay -- most possibly named for Eleanor Mary Allen, wife of Charles McCann ... Wikipedia, author of this species

commonly known as: Eleanor's lily • Marathi: नोरी कर्णफुल nori karnaphul
