Crinum jagus

Crinum jagus is part of the Amaryllidaceae family, a group of flowering plants known for their bulbous structure and showy flowers. The species has a wide distribution across tropical and subtropical regions, spanning from parts of South America to multiple countries in Africa. Its presence in both the Americas and Africa suggests a potentially complex biogeographic history. The species is documented in areas such as Brazil, South Carolina, and Antioquia, as well as in several African countries including Angola, Benin, Cameroon, and Nigeria. It is also found on the Gulf of Guinea Islands and in countries like Malawi and Mauritius. The genus Crinum is known for its large, trumpet-shaped flowers and is often associated with wetland habitats.
