broadly obconical tube, the same colour as the crown, which 
slightly exceeds them, and spreads much more at the throat, 
(B. M. 51; N. 4.) The following are sub- varieties: maximus, 
with a greenish-yellow perianth, the tube of which is very short 
(S. B. F. G. ser. ii. 286, under name of N. maximus). obvallaris 
Tenby Daffodil), perianth lighter yellow than the trumpet; the

all others (see Fig. 643; B. M. 1301, under name of N. major). 
pallidus precox, variable in shade of colour and size of flower ;
