Dwarf/Mini Crinum

Dear Friends,
Thanks for all the info on this topic.
Paul T suggested C. uniflorum. It isn't on the wiki, but a
Google search brought up some conflicting reports of its size and it
has (sort of obviously) only a single flower. Although I didn't
mention it, my mystery dwarf has a head of more than 7 flowers.
Nhu suggested three possibilities:
C. razafindratsiraea
C. mccoyi and
C. miminum
All of which might be pretty uncommon
Jim L added some thoughts about C. uniflorum.
This is an impressive list of really small Crinum, but I
think my guess of C. oliganthum is still the most obvious.

Always learn something new. Best Jim W.
