REVIEW OF THE GENUS NARCISSUS. 109 



Var. 3, N. poli/aid/ios. — Flowers 8-20, 12-15 lines across when fully 

 expanded. Divisions pure white, 4-5 lines broad, imbricated, blunt- 

 ish or cuspidate, equalling or shorter than the tube. Corona about a 

 third as long as the divisions, at first a very pale yellow, finally be- 

 coming nearly the same colour as the divisions, slightly plicate, the 

 edge subentire. — N. polyanthos, Lois. M. Gall. i. p. 236 ; De Cand. 

 Fl. Franc, p. 323 ; Eeich. le. t. 367. Herniione polyantha. Haw. Mon. 

 p. 11 ; Kunth, vol. v. p. 757. 



Var. 4, N. ochroleucus. — Leaves greener and more convex on the back, 

 and stem more nearly terete than in the foregoing. Expanded flower 

 12-15 lines across ; the divisions milk white, half an inch broad, much 

 imbricated ; the corona citron-yellow, with a subentire edge, nearly half 

 as long as the divisions. — N. ochroleucus, Lois. Gall. i. p. 236 ; De 

 Cand. Fl. Franc, v. p. 325. Hermione tereticanlis, Haw. Mon. p. 8;

 nects Tazetta with the two next species. 



Series 2. — Crown and segments of the llmh hoth pure white. 



Var. 5, N. papyraceus. — Leaves glaucescent, ^— | in. broad ; stem an- 

 cipitous ; expanded flower 15-18 lines across ; the tube greenish-white, 

 8-9 lines long above the ovary ; the divisions pure white, 8-4 lines 

 broad, generally narrowed gradually to a point, and moderately imbri-

 colour as the divisions. — N. papyracea, Gawl. Bot. Mag. t. 947 (1806) ;

Var. 6, N. Panizzianus, bears the same relation to the last that N. 

 patuliis does to N. lacticolor, that is, it is more slender and smaller in 

 all its parts; expanded flower 9-10 lines across; corona subentire, 

 pure white, \-\ the length of the limb. — N. Panizzianus, Pari. Fl. 

 Ital. iii. p. 128, and excellently figured by Moggridge, Cont. Ment. t.
