’ We are not a little furprifed that Mr. Miller fhould have 
taken no notice of the prefent fpecies, as it mull have been in 
the Englilh gardens long before his time, being mentioned by 
Parkinfon in his Garden of Pleafant Flowers : it is nearly re- 
lated to the Pfeudo-Narcijfiis, but differs from it in many parti- 
culars except fizej vid. Linn . Sp. PL and Parkinfon above 
quoted. 
Though its bloffoms are not fo large as tbofe of the other 
fpecies, yet when the roots are planted in a duller, they make 
a very pretty fhow, and have this advantage, that they flower 
fomewhat earlier than any of the others. 
Like the common Daffodil it propagates very fall by the 
roots, and will thrive in almoft any foil or iituation. 
, Though a na ti ve 0 f Spain, it is feldom injured by the fevc* 
nty of our climate.
