From struma, a tubercle; a name given by Jacquin, on account of the swelling of the middle of the style. Pretty little delicate plants; their culture as in Hæmanthus. 735. Crinum. Kρivov is Greek for a lily. Its límits as a genus are defined by the hypocrateriform flower with linear reflexed segments. Some unwise attempts have been made to destroy this distinction, by admitting into this genus plants with the characters of Amaryllis. We, however, have adhered to the old, and, as we think, most intelligible, mode of understanding the genus. This is a fine stately genus of the Amaryllideæ : several beautiful species have lately been introduced. They grow best in rich loam, mixed with a little rotten dung, and potted in large pots they will flower abundantly. They may be increased by suckers from the root, or by seed. If the plant be shy in producing suckers, it may be cut down near to the root, and it will send out plenty. (Bot.

Cyrthanthus. From κuρτoς, curved, and avθoς, a flower. The tube of the flower is long and round. This is an elegant genus, and the species grow well in sandy loam mixed with a little peat. They require plenty of water when in a growing state, but scarcely any when dormant; and they should be fresh potted just before they begin to grow, then they will flower freely. They may be increased by offsets from the bulbs, or from seeds. (Bot. Cult. 176.) 737. Brunsvigia. Named after the noble family of Brunswick. This is a splendid genus; some of the bulbs grow to a great size, and require large pots to have them thrive and flower in perfection. They require plenty of water when in a growing state; but must when dormant be kept so by wholly withholding water. 738. NERI'NE. Herb. 4220 curvifólia W. 4221 corúsca B.
