Crinum hybrid identification

Hey William -
It looks like you have one of the many many hybrids of Crinum scabrum and
Crinum bulbispermum. These are often referred as Crinum Xherbertii hybrids
Crinum Xherbertii being a name assigned to this cross a long time ago and
now kind of used as a short hand handle for any cross of these parents.
There are a large number of crosses of this parent heritage and many of the
named ones were names assigned to old versions that someone discovered such
as you and named. Because of this a mystery find is really hard to place
and identify and there are many named and unnamed versions in circulation
that appear to be identical. In addition there are so many around there are
truly different versions of this cross that are impossible to separate. I
have about 30-40 different versions of C. Xherbertii crosses and viewed as
a group it is like one large spectrum. Anyway in the end this isn't
important what the exact identity as most of them are rewarding plants with
a tough long lived constitution.
