“Dear Alok ji If you are working with the plant, you must be having flowering specimens, photograph or herbarium. Crinum can;t be confused with species of Allium (some may be called as Jungli lassun). Perhaps if you send photographs some of us may be able to identify. -- Dr. Gurcharan Singh” “If you are sure about Crinum defixum Ker-Gawl which is now Crinum viviparum Ansari& Nair, then this is a plant that grows on the rocky beds of rivers in peninsular India. I have a few plants in my collection and I can spare one for you.

According to me the name is *Crinum defixum*. however, on chemical tests the plant which we have collected from Bihar and Jharkhand region is not giving a proper test for the presence of chemicals reported in literature for crinum defixum. that means the identity is wrong for the plant on our part. if it is crinum defixum only, where can i fiond the plant in the region of North India like Himacha pradesh or can any one please guide me to a seller who sells this plant in market. the bulbs are used for the analysis purpose and we need the bulbs only.... please help..
