Ammocharis Heterostyla
''Ammocharis'' is a small genus from sub-Saharan Africa, in the family Amaryllidaceae (subfamily Amaryllidoideae) which includes seven species distributed in Africa. The plant grows as above-ground bulb, preferring seasonally wet, hot, sandy soils and full sun. Taxonomy The botanist William Herbert segregated ''Ammocharis'' from ''Crinum'' in 1821, with two species, ''A. coranica'' and ''A. falcata'' (both originally ''Amaryllis''). He also placed one of Linnaeus' original ''Amaryllis'' species, ''A. longifolia'', in ''Crinum'' as ''C. capense''. This species would also eventually find its way into ''Ammocharis''. In 1847 Roemer placed ''Amaryllis longifolia'' in ''Ammocharis'' as ''Ammocharis longifolfolia'', (Linn.) Roem. without realising it was conspecific with ''Ammocharis falcata''. However, many subsequent authors included only the two original species. A major review of the genus was undertaken by Milne-Redhead and Schweickerdt in 1939. In their recircumscription t ...

Crinum Thaianum
''Crinum thaianum'', also called the Thai onion plant or water onion, is an emergent plant species, endemic to the coastal plain of Ranong and Phang Nga Provinces, Thailand. Its natural habitat is to grow along the banks of flowing, medium- to fast-running streams, where its roots and bulb are submerged in the sediment, while its leaves grow long in the current and can access fresh air at the surface. When in bloom, the flower is an umbel of large, showy blossoms above the waterline. These growth habits make it a wonderful addition for tropical aquaria, and it is sold in many regions to be used specifically for growth within displays of tropical fish. It also serves the added benefit of oxygenating the water and absorbing ammonia, which is toxic to most aquatic animals. In nature, however, the species is threatened with extinction, and diminishing rapidly, due to habitat destruction.

Crinum Pedunculatum
''Crinum pedunculatum'' also known as the swamp lily, river lily or mangrove lily, is a bulbous perennial found in stream and tidal areas of the Northern Territory, Queensland and New South Wales, Australia as well as New Guinea and some Pacific Islands. It is unclear whether it is native or introduced to Norfolk Island. ''C. pedunculatum'' is considered by some sources to be a synonym of ''Crinum asiaticum'' var. ''pedunculatum''., search for "Crinum pedunculatum" The differences between ''C. asiaticum'' and ''C. pedunculatum'' are subtle. The latter tends to be somewhat smaller, but has broader petals, giving it a less fragile appearance. It is a very large bulbous perennial plant, up to 2 to 3 metres tall, with a spread of up to 3 metres. It likes either full sun or partial shade. It is usually found on the edge of forests, but also at the high tide level close to mangroves. The white, fragrant flowers are in a cluster with 10 to 100 flowers on an umbel. Cultivation and u ...
