REVIEAY OF THE GENUS NARCISSUS. 35 



Bot. Mag. 1. 1187. — Ajax hicolor, Salisb. Herb, and Kiiiith. A. bico- 

 lor, A. lorifolius, and A. dfevi/olius, Haw. N. Pseudo-Narcissus, var. 

 hicoloi\ Gren. and Godr. Fl. France, vol. iii. p. 254. 



5. Moschatus, L. Sp. Plant, p. 415. — Flowers large or middle- 

 sized, at first a very pale sulplmr-yellow, finally nearly white, the di- 

 visions narrower and more lanceolate than in the type, the crown the 

 same colour as the rest of the flower, equalling or slightly exceeding 

 the divisions. Bot. Mag. t. 1300. — Ajax moschatus. Haw. Herb, and 

 Knnth (iV. candidissimus, Red. Lil. t. 188). A. tortuosus. Haw. Herb, 

 and Kunth (Bot. Mag. t. 924). A. ceniuus, Haw. Herb, and Kunth 

 (Sweet, Fl. Gard. ser. 2, t. 101). 



All these five varieties are none of them very rare in cultivation in 

 England at the present time, but 1 and 2 are very much the common- 

 est, both being frequently seen " double " in gardens. N. Sahirii, 

 Lindl. Bot. Keg. t. 762 {Dlomcdes major, Haworth), is most like No. 5, 

 but the corona is decidedly shorter than the divisions, and the filaments 

 are inserted higher up in the tube, and scarcely exceed the anthers. 

 Doubtless it is a garden hybrid. 



HI. N. Calathinus (L. Sp. Plant, p. 415).— Bulb ovoid, not 

 more than \ in. thick. Leaves generally two to a scape ; very slender, 

 green, 1^-2 lines broad, concave on the face; scape 8-12 in. high, 

 very slender, terete ; flowers one or two to a stem, on pedicels 9-15 

 lines long, which eqiial or exceed the spathes, decidedly cernuous, 

 14-15 lines long, exclusive of the ovary ; the tube \ in. long, less than 

 a line thick in the lower half, the same colour as the rest of the flower, 

 the divisions of the limb oblong-lanceolate, bluntish or subacute, 4-4|- 

 liues broafl at the base, decidedly reflexed when the flower is fully ex- 

 panded, white, or a very pale sulpliur-yellow ; crown the same colour 

 as the divisions, and the same length ; the throat erecto-patent, scarcely 

 at all plicate, with six shallow, rounded, subcntire lobes ; stamens bi- 

 seriate, with straight filaments aljout \ in. long, the upper three in- 

 serted near the mouth of the tube, and reaching nearly to the throat 

 of the crown ; style filiform, reaching nearly or quite to the throat of 

 the crown. Red. Lil. t. 40 and 177, Gren. and Godr. Fl. France, vol. 

 iii. p. 261. — N. rejlcxus, Brot. Lus. vol. i. p. 550 ; Lois. Not. p. 165.
