Crinum Identification Please

Hi Marek
The inference in my earlier remark was that polyploidy is found in some C.
moorei interspecific hybrids which appear to have greater chromosome
numbers than the sum total of the numbers of chromosomes found in the
original parents. These Crinum hybrids are usually sterile but it has been
noted that over a number of years some may suddenly become seed or pollen
fertile. This new pairing or chromatid recombination appears to have
originated from either a somatic mutation or a meiosis recombination
event? A real understanding of the genetic processes involved in this
change is however a mystery to me.
Cheers
Jim

Jim,
I do not understand what you mean. Is it "somatic hybrid"? If so, how is
it
possible in the old hybrid?

... The other larger open rose pink coloured Crinum looks very much like a
C. moorei hybrid - but one which is possibly
a stomatic hybrid? showing most of the features of a good C. moorei
flower
....
