Hymenocallis tubiflora is a plant species from Trinidad and northern South America. It is reported from Trinidad, Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana, and northern Brazil.^[3] The name was originally coined in 1812,^[4] the description based on a specimen grown at Kew Botanical Garden in London, the bulb having been seized by British sailors from a French ship captured by the Royal Navy in 1803.^[5]

Hymenocallis tubiflora is a bulb-forming perennial. It has broadly lanceolate leaves up to 60 cm long, tapering at the tip and narrowing below to a long petiole. Flowers are white, borne in an umbel; tepals long and narrow, frequently drooping at flowering time; staminal cup short. Anthers yellow, borne on long filaments.^[4]^[6]

Gardening

[edit]

The species is widely cultivated in tropical countries because of its attractive, fragrant floral display. It is reported naturalized in Malaysia.^[7] It can also be grown in temperate countries with proper care and protection from cold weather.^[8]^[9]
