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.
