Amanitatcs Academic*, will foon perceive that the prefent fpe- 

 cies was not the one there intended, but that it was the Nar- 

 cissus incomparabilis of this work, which is alfo the odorus of 

 Gouan. Linnjeus, in the fecond edition of his Species 

 Plant arum, while he cites the cdorus of Aman. Acad, evi- 

 dently lofes fight of that plant, and changes his fpecific phrafe 

 and defcription, as well as fynonymy, to fait the fpecies we 

 have now before us ; not aware that it is diftincl from the 

 one he is incorporating it with, nor that he has already taken 

 the fame up under the name of calathinus in this very work, 

 mod probably from figures only, as he defcribes the leaves 

 flat. Reichard afterwards added the fynonyms of Gouan 

 and Haller; the latter had himfelf cited calathinus to his 

 plant, with a mark of doubt to the words M foliis planis." 



Since one of the three fpecific names fliould now merge, we 

 have fuppreffed that of odorus, incomparabilis being better c(ta- 

 biifhed for the one fpecies, and calathinus having been applied 

 to this only, and being befides more -conformable to Linn/eus's 

 rules for feleciing trivial names. 



In weak, young, or even many-flowered plants, the crown is 

 proportionately Ihorter, and the lobes often gnawn or crenulate, 

 both which characters are loft when the fame plants grow ftronger 

 or blow with a fingle flower. Called calathinus by Linnaeus, 

 from the crown refembling a chalice. 



A native of the South of Europe. Hardy. Sweet-fcented ; 

 but not fo much fo as others of the genus. Varies with very 

 double flowers, and is then called by fome Gardeners '* Queen 

 Anne's Jonquil." Blooms in April, have never feen it with 

 more than four flowers, and but rarely with fo many. G.
