Prats XLI. 
NARCISSUS intermeptvs, Lois. 
Natural Order AMARYLLIDACER. 
Gun. Cuar.—Perianth of 6 spreading divisions, within which is a 
bell-shaped crown. Stamens 6, inserted either on the crown or base of 
the tube of the corolla. 
Spec. Cuar.— Flowers 2-5 ; crown cup-shaped, margin wavy, about 
one-third of the divisions of the perianth. Leaves green, channelled, 
nearly semicylindrical on the back’ (Lois. Fl. Gall. i. 236). 
Narcissus intermedius, Lois. Fl. Gall. 1. 236 t. 6; Gren. et Godr. Fl. 
de Fr. ii. 258; Woods, Tour. Fl. p. 361. 
Haprrat.—Shady, near water in Eastern Bay. March. 
Remarks.—This is an extremely rare Mentonese plant, and is one 
which hitherto has been supposed to belong exclusively to western 
France. Only one habitat has as yet been discovered here, but I hope’ 
that by the aid of this drawing, others may possibly be found. The 
bank on which it grows is covered with reeds (Arundo Donax, Linn.), 
and quite free from cultivation, so that I regard it as a truly wild spe-. 
cies, The specimens I have seen never quite coincided with the de- 
scription of Loiseleur’s N. intermedius, quoted above, but they agree 
- more nearly with this species than any other knowntome. The leaves 
were perfectly cylindrical in their whole length, slightly ribbed, and 
the cellular tissue spongy with lacune at regular intervals. Many 
botanists believe that there exists a complete series of forms interme- 
diate between Narcissus Jonquilla, Linn. Sp. Plant. p. 417. Narcissus 
intermedius is said only to grow on the hills near Bayonne and the 
landes of Dax.
