[8] Τὰ δὲ κρίνα τῇ μὲν χροιᾷ τὴν εἰρημένην ἔχει διαφοράν. μονόκαυλα δέ ἐστιν ὡς ἐπὶ πᾶν, δικαυλεῖ δὲ σπανίως· τάχα δὲ τοῦτο χώρας καὶ ἀέρος διαφορᾶς. καθ᾿ ἕκαστον δὲ καυλὸν ὁτὲ μὲν ἓν κρίνον ὁτὲ δὲ πλείω γίνεται· βλαστάνει γὰρ τὸ ἄκρον· σπανιώτερα δὲ ταῦτα· ῥίζαν δὲ ἔχει πολλὴν σαρκώδη καὶ στρογγύλην· ὁ δὲ καρπὸς ¹²³⁴ ἀφαιρούμενος ἐκβλαστάνει καὶ ἀποδίδωσι τὸ κρίνον πλὴν ἔλαττον. ποιεῖ δέ τινα καὶ δακρυώδη συρροήν, ἣν καὶ φυτεύουσιν, ὥσπερ εἴπομεν.
