Sibdas ji, I surfed and searched Crinium ... it appears to be some kind of blunder carried with times ... most of the cases used as a common name ... in rare cases, some nurseries use it erroneously instead of *Crinum*. The dictionaries do not have any meaning for it. Only one instance in medical dictionary: *fragilitas crinium* ... a brittleness of the hair.
Reminds me of *bellirica* vs *bellerica*, read at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beleric Regards. On Tue, Jun 30, 2009 at 8:15 PM, sibdas ghosh <sibdasgh...@gmail.com> wrote: > > One point bothers me.
