Tall rangoon crinum. Crinum procerum. White crinum lily with fine pink lines from Rangoon, Burma.. Illustration by William Herbert, engraved by Weddell. Handcolored copperplate engraving from Samuel Curtis's "The Curtis Botanical Magazine" 1826. Herbert (1778-1847) was a clergyman, classical scholar, poet and botanist. A keen gardener, he was an expert on bulbous plants and developed many new varieties. Samuel Curtis, cousin and son-in-law to William Curtis, took over the Botanical Magazine in 1826. Samuel re-named it "The Curtis Botanical Magazine" and enlisted the help of William Jackson Hooker, Professor of Botany at Glasgow University. Samuel Curtis' daughters (Miss C and C.M) drew the illustrations for the magazine.
