Field Notes

Description:

This is a large Crinum lily planted from wild stock. (For a spotting of a truly wild specimen look here http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/7056151 ). The present spotting shows all major parts of the plant including flowers, fruits and large fleshy leaves. In June of 2014, this spectacular specimen was attacked by lily caterpillar (Spodoptera picta), see http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/408446015 and it may not recover.

Habitat:

This is planted wild stock situated in a large semi-urban yard/garden in the equatorial tropics of northern New Guinea.
