Dear John, Kevin et al; So the name 'Splendens' is an invalid cultivar, but there are a variety of species and hybrids with red/purple leaves. It would be best if new introductions are given real cv names. It they are not vegetatively propagated, but seed grown too, they constitute a 'group name'. So a red leafed Crinum I have might be any of a variety of species (although C. (asiaticum/procerum) is likeliest) with the name Crinum asiaticum var. procerum 'Red Leaf Group' ( based on ICNCP rules). Comments? Thanks Jim W. -- Dr. James W. Waddick 8871 NW Brostrom Rd.
