Crinum flaccidum, known variously as the Darling lily, Murray lily or Macquarie lily, is a species of the family Amaryllidae native to inland Australia.[1] The Darling river people — the Paakantyi — called this plant paalampaltharu.[2]

Taxonomy

In the 1889 book The useful native plants of Australia, the botanist Joseph Henry Maiden wrote:

"This exceedingly handsome white-flowered plant, which grows back from the Darling, has bulbs which yield a fair arrowroot. On one occasion, near the town of Wilcannia, a man earned a handsome sum by making this substance when flour was all but unobtainable.

South Australia, Victoria, New South Wales, and Queensland."[3]

Maiden also gave three synonyms:

  • Crinum flaccidum Herb.
  • Amaryllis australasica Ker
  • Crinum australis Spreng.[3]

Uses

It is rich in starch. The root is cooked and then eaten. It is used as a source of arrowroot.[4]
