Hymenocallis tubiflora

Hymenocallis tubiflora is a plant species from Trinidad and northern South America.

It is reported from Trinidad, Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana, and northern Brazil.

[3] The name was originally coined in 1812,[4] the description based on a specimen grown at Kew Botanical Garden in London, the bulb having been seized by British sailors from a French ship captured by the Royal Navy in 1803.

[4][6] The species is widely cultivated in tropical countries because of its attractive, fragrant floral display.

[7] It can also be grown in temperate countries with proper care and protection from cold weather.
