Actually,
would anybody have photos of mature C. bulbispermum for comparison?
My C. "longifolium" are distinct - the skin is very light tan, held above the ground level, and has a very tall solid "neck" that is also the same light tan. The older plants do have offsets. Haven't had them long enough to flower or to see the leaves yet. All I know is that they are distinct compared to other Crinums I have seen with this unusual growth habit.
The largest bulbs are about 7 inches wide, 4 inches high, and the neck is about 8 inches tall, and 1 1/2 inches wide.
Not sure if this will help at all.

That's from 40 years ago. I would think there might have been some more recent
work.... off to do some detective work!
Thanks, Jude

Dear Jude,
Les Hannibal in his review of Garden Crinums (1970) lists C. longifolium
Thunb. as a synonym of C. bulbispermum. \
