Marcelle's Crinums

Crinum procerum

Crinum procerum (C. asiaticum var. procerum).

Mr. Hannibal treated C. procerum as a variety of C. asiaticum, hence he referred to it as C. asiaticum var. procerum. Generally, Mr. Hannibal considered extra large plants that were asiaticum-like to be C. asiaticum var. procerum. He recognized several forms of C. asiaticum procerum including 'Splendens,' and 'Kaawanum'. Both forms have reddish leaves but 'Splendens' has more narrow leaves and 'Kaawanum' has wide leaves.

Other authorities have not always agreed with Mr. Hannibal's classification for the plants that he called C. asiaticum var. procerum.
