642. The principal varieties are as follows: 
N. p. majalis (May). f., divisions of the perianth pure white 
well-formed and generally flat; cup edged with saffron. : 
N. p. patellaris (broad-petalled), A., perianth pure white, flat, 
finely formed; cup large, edged with saffron. l. erect. 
N. p. poetarum (poet’s). An early form, with the expanded 
flower 24in., or even Sin. across, and much-imbricated divisions. 
It is sometimes known as N. p. grandiflorus. 
N. p. radiiflorus (ray-fiowered). A more slender plant than he 
type, with narrower leaves, and obovate divisions of the limb of 
the flower so much narrowed downwards that they are not at all 
imbricated in the expanded flower, and also more narrowed at 
the point; crown rather narrower, and, consequently more erect. 
Flowers at least a fortnight earlier than the type. Syn. N. 
angustifolius. (B. M. 193.) 
N. p. recurvus (recurved), A late-flowering form, with weak 
recurved leaves, and the divisions of the limb reflexed and 
crisped towards the edge. (N. 424; S. B. F. G. ser. ii 188, 
under name of N. recurvus.) 
N. p. stellaris (star-shaped). A late-flowering form, with the 
divisions of the limb, as in the variety radiiflorus, narrowed at 
the base, and not imbricated.. (N. 42c; S. B. F. G. ser. ii. 132, 
under name of N. stellaris.) 
N. p. verbanensis (Lago Maggiore). A very slender, late variety, 
with oblanceolate much-reflexed divisions (eight to nine lines 
long), which are yellowish at the base. 
N. primulinus (rather early). A form of N. Tazetta intermedius, 
N. princeps (princely). A form of N. Pseudo-Narcissus. 
N. propinquus (related). A form of N. Pseudo-Narcissus major. 
N. pseudo-juncifolius (Rush-leaved). A synonym of N. odorus 
manor. 
N. Pseudo-Narcissus (bastard Narcissus).* Daffodil. fl. soli- 
tary, nearly sessile ; perianth eighteen to twenty lines long above 
the ovary, the obconical tube about 4in. deep ; divisions of the 
limb more or less ascending, sulphur-yellow, paler than the 
crown, oblong-lanceolate, nine to ten lines long, five to six lines 
broad at the base; crown just equalling the divisions, but 
deeper and more orange-yellow in colour; the mouth about lin. 
across, slightly plicate and inciso-crenate ; scape about lft. high, 
with two prominent edges. Early in March. J. five or six to 
a scape, glaucous, erect, flattish upwards, equalling, or, rather, 
shorter than the scape at the time of flowering. Bulb ovoid, lin. 
to lin. thick. Europe (Britain), &c. (N. 3.) Of this, the 
Daffodil, there are five well-marked varieties (N. 4-13), which 
were known to, and described and named by, Li us, and 
which keep up their characters well enough under cultivation 
to stand as species for garden purposes. abscissus (muticus) is 
a variable form, with sulphur perianth and rich yellow trumpet. 
cambricus has sulphur-white perianth and yellow trumpet. 
lobularis, a dwarf form, has sulphur perianth and yellow 
trumpet. princeps has a sulphur-white perianth and yellow 
trumpet; flower very large and showy, Telamonius, the finest 
of this sub-group, has large, spreading, light yellow perianth, with 
channelled divisions, and large, handsome, yellow trumpet, varti- 
formis, perianth ranging from white to primrose ; trumpet from
