Crinum pedunculatum

ex Heward Crinum pedunculatum[1] also known as the swamp lily, river lily or mangrove lily, is a bulbous perennial found in stream and tidal areas of the Northern Territory, Queensland and New South Wales, Australia as well as New Guinea and some Pacific Islands.

[2] C. pedunculatum is considered by some sources to be a synonym of Crinum asiaticum var.

The latter tends to be somewhat smaller, but has broader petals, giving it a less fragile appearance.

It is usually found on the edge of forests, but also at the high tide level close to mangroves.

C. pedunculatum makes a beautiful feature plant in a large garden.
