REVIEW OF THE GENUS NARCISSUS. Ill 



cup-shaped, f in. broad at the mouth, slightly plicate and crenulate, 

 uniform in texture, a rather deeper yellow than the divisions. Anthers 

 biseriate, subsessile, the upper three reaching into the crown. — N. gra-

Well known in cultivation, but never matched with any wild plant. 

 Probably a hybrid between some of the varieties of N. Tazetta and 

 N. poeticus ; it has the leaves and general habit of N. poeticus var. 

 radifloriis, but the flower is different. It may be the N. angustifolius 

 of WiUdenow, and if so, that is its oldest name, but it is not the plant 

 figured under that name by Curtis. 



XIII. N. iNTERMEDius (Lois. Gall. i. p. 237, t. 7). — Bulb ovoid, an 

 inch or more thick ; leaves 3-4 to a scape, subcylindrical, deep glossy 

 green, about equalling the scape, 2j-3 lines broad. Scape a foot or 

 rather more high, green, subterete. Flowers 2-5, the longer pedicels 

 equalling the spathe. Tube 8-9 lines long, exclusive of the ovary, 

 about a line in thickness. Expanded flower 12-15 lines across; the 

 divisions obovato-cuspidate, lemon-yello-w, 5-7 lines long, 4-4^ lines 

 broad, much imbricated. Crown 2-2\ lines deep, slightly deeper in 

 colour than the divisions, the edge a little plaited and crenulate. An- 

 thers biseriate, subsessile, the upper ones protruded into the crown.

Var. N. radiatus. — Divisions of the flower oblong-lanceolate, less 

 imbricated; crown 6-lobed. — N. radiattis, Red. Lil. t. 459. N. tri- 

 partitus, Hornem. Hafn. p. 316. Hermione compressa. Haw. Mon. p. 7. 



A native of Spain, the South of France, and the Balearic Islands. 

 Intermediate between Tazetta and the Jonquil ; but both this and the 

 last, though easy to know, when living, by their leaves and general 

 habit, are scarcely to be distinguished from Tazetta in dried specimens. 

 The three taken together may be known from all other Narcissi by the 

 cup-shaped crowns, from a quarter to a third, or in extreme cases nearly 

 half, as long as the divisions of the limb of the flower.
