SHE genus Nara is at once beautiful, atie and (as a: 
vernal one,) interefting ;. but. although it has been univer- - 
fally cultivated for more than a century, both in this country and 
on the Continent, it is ftill comparatively but little underftood ; 
. and yet the fpecies are neither numerous nor deficient in Chl. 
teriftic diftinctions. : 7 | | 
I truft, therefore, the TETE account of i its Component (petis, ; 
fo far only as I grow them myfelf, will not be unacceptable to the 
Linnean Society. It has nothing to recommend it, but the novelty 
and fimplicity of its divifions, and. characters eftablithed by a ten — 
years cultivation. 
I poffeís feveral Narciffi which I have not inferted in this arrange- 
ment, not having had them long enough to difcover oo 
fufficiently permanent. 
Nearly all the Narcifi have bulbous roots of the tunicated kind, 
which are faid to grow fpontaneoufly in the fouthern parts of 
_ Europe, but more efpecially in Spain. In England we have four. 
For brevity's fake I fhall- give but one fynonym to each defcribed 
fpecies, and that fhall be the beft: thofe komen are new fhall be 
marked with an afterifk, 
SYN OPSIS.
