Hymenocallis littoralis (Jacq.) Salisb. -
Collector(s)
E. D. Merrill 128, Aug 1914
-
Location
Philippines. Metropolitan Manila. Manila, Luzon.
-
Habitat
Larger towns throughout the Philippines. Occasionally found in waste places, about deserted dwellings, etc.
-
Description
The form described by Blanco as Pancratium Illyricum was reduced by Naves to Hymenocallis adnata Herb., which is cited by Baker as a synonym of H. littoralis. The species was introduced into the Philippines, from Mexico, at an early date. As to Pancratium maritimum Blanco, whatever else it may be, it can scarcely be Pancratium maritimum Linn. The description is very short and imperfect, taken from specimens observed by him in cultivation in Batangas Province, Luzon. I strongly suspect it to have been Hymenocallis littoralis Salisb.
