Crossyne is a genus of South African flowering plants in the Amaryllis family.

The leaves grow in a radial arrangement around the top of the bulb, emerging from a flat slit.

The leaves are a decorative dark green, coriaceous in texture and mottled or spotted beneath, especially near the base.

The margins of the leaves of all ages are elegantly ciliate, being fringed with eyelash-like bristles.

If torn, whether alive or as yet undecayed, the leaves dried sap forms silky threads that in past times cattle herders used to apply to bleeding cuts as a styptic.
