Crinum murrayanum

HI Tomas,
Crinum murrayanum hasnt yet been officially described - the name murrayanum
is related to the river close to where its populations are found - The
Murray River. An Australian botanist is intending to formally describe it
and this is the name we understand will be used.
It differs from C. flaccidum in being a hexaploidal population - is much
more robust in growth , has many more flowers, has umber coloured flower
buds - the sepals are ellipical rather than rounded as in flaccidum, it
grows in limestone soils and has a different flower odor to flaccidum and
isnt winter dormant like flaccidum. It comes from drier locations in
southern Australia and takes advantage of any substantial rainfall
throughout the year for leaf growth - which dies back when soil moisture is
low.
Cheers
Jim

Hi,
I need some help with a species I recently have got and it is a Crinum
myrrayanum, I have Google for this species with no results and I think
it might be the same as Crinum flaccidum from Australia?
Anybody of you willing to confirm this? That it is the same species
but with different name, which is very common in the botanical world
and sometime very confusing.
Best regards
Tomas
