Fig. 5: Crinum foliis carinatis in Fl. zeyl. 127.,
Linnaeus' original C. asiaticum.
The above etching in Hermann's original sketch in his Horti acad., which Linnaeus documented into his Flora zeylanicus: 127, 1747, as C. asiaticum, his original type species. This bulb is now C. defixum Ker-Gawler. The error developed since K.-G. used an erroneous Linnaeus reference from Species plantarum II, but not present in Ed. I.
