The prefent fpccies of Narcitjus is confidered by the Nurfery- 
men near London as the triandrus of Linnaus, which it no 
doubt is, though it does not accord in every particular with 
his defeription : his triandrus is white, ours is pale yellow, but 
colour is not in the leaf! to be depended on, for it is found to 
vary in this as in all the other fpecies; his triandrus he deferibes 
as having in general only three (lamina, whence the name he 
has given it; ours, fo far as we have obferved, has conftantly 
fix, three of which reach no further than the mouth of the 
tube, a circumftance fo unufual, that Linnaeus might overlook 
it without any great impeachment of his difeernment; he fays, 
indeed, that it has fometimes fix; perhaps, the three iowermoft 
ones mav, in fome indances, be elongated fo as to equal the 
others ; if he had obferved the great inequality of their length, 
he would certainly have mentioned it. 
This fpecies is found wild on the Pyrenean mountains; was 
an inhabitant of our gardens in the time of Parkinson (who 
has very accurately deferibed it, noticing even its three ftamina) 
to which, however, it has been a ffranger for many years: it 
has lately been re-introduced, but is as yet very fcarce. Our 
figure was taken from a fpecimen which flowered in Mr. Lee's 
Nurfery at Hammerfmith. 
It grows with as much readinefs as any of the others of the 
genus, and flowers in March and April.
