1318 Nerina (/nɪˈraɪnɑː/), provisional designation 1934 FG, is a Phocaea asteroid from the inner regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 13 kilometers (8 miles) in diameter. It was discovered on 24 March 1934, by South African astronomer Cyril Jackson at the Union Observatory in Johannesburg.[1] The possibly metallic X-type asteroid has a notably short rotation period of 2.5 hours.[12] It was named for the flowering plant Nerine, also known as "Guernsey lily" or "Jersey lily".[2]
