Fig. 39: Crinum moorei Hooker. A Natal (now KwaZulu)
species commonly grown in Californian gardens. It requires part shade and
will outcross with other species, but is prone to mislead one by its
inclination to produce maternal apogamic seed, so use it as a pollen parent.
Some tetraploid forms exist. Greg Pettit reports having ten distinct
forms.
