The prefent fpccics of Daffodil is the largefl of the genus, 
and bears the mod magnificent flowers, but, though it has long 
been known in this country, it is confined rather to the gardens 
of the curious. 
It is a native of Spain, and flowers with us in April. As its 
roots produce plenty of offsets, it is readily propagated. 
It approaches in its general appearance very near to the 
Narciffus Pfeudo-Narciffns t but differs in being a much taller 
plant, having its leaves more twilled, as well as more glaucous, 
its flowers (but efpecially its Neftary) much larger, and its 
petals more Tprcading; and thefe characters are not altered 
by culture. 
It anfwcrs to the bicolcr of Linx.cus in every refpeft but 
colour, and we fhould have adopted that name, had not the 
flowers with us been always of a fine deep yellow ; we have 
therefore taken Bauhin’s name as the moll expreflive. 
It varies with double flowers.
